Muscular endurance is being able to work a muscle or muscle group for a long period of time at less than maximum effort, (Amezdrox, G. Dickens, S, Hosford, G. and Davis, D. 2012). Muscular endurance was tested by completing a sit up and push up test. My rating for the sit up test were super and for the push up test my rating was excellent, (see appendix 1). These tests were chosen instead of others because if you have a strong core whilst playing touch football, it is seen that you can perform better and this is what these tests work on, (Touch Football Australia, 2013).
• TESTING This group will start the testing by attaining the medical records of the player to see if he is physically and physiologically capable to perform such strenuous activities. After that information is attained we will start by testing the player’s endurance with a two mile run and monitor the times, heart rate, Vo2 max, and try to evaluate the lactic threshold. Thereafter in the following days, we will attain the midfielder’s 1RM in all multiple joint lifts giving us a baseline for our percentages.
Introduction In this lab, the focus was to study muscular fitness. In muscular fitness, there are two main components of measurements that are being taken, which are muscular strength and muscular endurance. Muscular strength is an individual’s ability to exert their maximum force. To test muscular strength, there are multiple tests such as 1 RM , Static Handgrip Strength, and Back Strength Dynamometer test. Muscular endurance is an individual’s ability to sustain prolonged muscular contractions. Tests that reveal results about an individual’s muscular endurance would be tests such as YMCA Submaximal Bench Press, Push-Up, and Plank test. It is important to remember that there is no single test for endurance and strength that will tell an
Analysis of The Safety of Sprint Starting Positions In “What is the Safest Starting Position for American Football Players?,” scientist’s Bruno Bonnechere, Bennoit Beyer, Marcel Rooze, and Jan Serge Van Sint explain their experiment showing the pro/con ratio for football players who practice with various sprint starting positions, and the “learning
Through the use of self-reporting systems, athlete trainers utilize several instruments to identify any present postconcussion signs and
-During this test, the subjects were tested with the glasses on and off. -The results were recorded. 2.Peripheral Vision: -During this test, the opthmolagist and the patient are sitting around the same height, but they are about 2 feet apart.
July is Sunglass Awareness Month at Atlantis Vision Center. Seems like a great time to explore the history of the accessory that’s fashionable, functional, and fun to wear. Did you know people have been using eyewear to block out the sun for about two-thousand years? The first people to use
The fundamental purpose of fitness testing is an evaluation of an individual’s baseline physical fitness capabilities through a series of testing done for each health and fitness related components of an athlete, fitness testing is the starting point for the designing of fitness program for their specific sport to have desired goals to monitor their improvement and to identify the strength and weaknesses. Physical testing is having many benefits for athletes as it gives an inside of their individualistic abilities for their specific sport. Many of the benefits of fitness testing include;
Atlantis Vision Center http://www.atlantisvisioncenter.com/ Limbal Rings Here is a cool piece of trivia about your eyes. If you compare a senior citizen’s eyes and a baby’s eyes, there is probably something about the difference between them that you can’t quite put your finger on. The senior’s eyes will look older, but why?
Materials To accurately execute this binocular cue Innately, some people are more athletic and coordinated than others, and this may be true even if one eye is covered. On the contrary, there are certain people that have a hard time with hand-eye coordination regularly, and may struggle to catch the ball in all conditions. Especially in the case of athletes and non-athletes I can imagine there may be somewhat of a difference. For people that are used to partaking in a certain ball sport, catching this ball with one eye may seem easier than the coordination they are used to when playing a sport. In contrast, non-athletes may struggle specifically, as they are not used to receiving a ball hardly at all. Furthermore, if one of the prior events were to occur, the results would show no significant difference in short versus long distance in monocular and binocular
Binoculars and Spotting Scopes are similar to operate however remain different. Both these devices are used to view distant objects. Binoculars are mainly used for military purposes. They have independent center focus making it effective in weatherproofing situations. A spotting scope is smaller in size and is like a portable telescope. They are used for night-vision hunting, surveillance and for many other applications that require magnification. Nonetheless, they both are designed differently and have unique properties.
What is visual acuity? Visual acuity is commonly referred to as the clarity of vision and is dependent on both optical and neural factors, such as the sharpness of the retinal focus in the eye, the health of the retina, and the sensitivity of the brain. One aspect of visual acuity is the ability of recognizing and discriminating the colours of the visible spectrum of light. There are two types of cells involved in vision: rod cells and cone cells. Rod cells are highly sensitive cells that allow for low-acuity vision in dim lit environments, however they lack the detail and colour information. Cone cells are high-acuity cells that provide colour information in well-lit environments. Rod cells provide more convergence than the cone cells which results in their increased sensitivity but also results in the decreased acuity.
This experiment is important for biologists and most importantly sports doctors because they can monitor changes and performance of athletes. Many athletes are constantly exercising and under vigorous activity. When studying the physiological changes of the body
SOM Configuration A two-dimensional map was used as this allows the direct display of the subject’s condition before and after the Iron Man exercise. To simulate the SOM structure, the SOM Toolbox - CIS is used in the MATLAB environment. A hexagonal neighbourhood is used in this set of experiments, since this provides equidistant sets of neighbours and thus gives better results than the alternative square topology for visual displays. HRV data was recorded from athletes with two different physiological states: before and after they complete their Iron Man Triathlon. The input data set comprised the HRV measured over a 10 minute period, derived from the measured R-R times. When mapped the data formed clusters of similar HRV measurements.
