SOCIAL AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATION:
The system relates to the type of protective clothing worn by the players in sports like in martial arts, taekwondo and kick boxing. Technology is becoming is very common in sports to highlight the unfair decisions made by the referees during a game, it’s a very complicated procedure to link technology with the sports, however introducing sensors like (proximity, motion sensor, impact sensors) in sports create a vast difference in the decision making of referees on field and also put fairness in the game and enjoyment for the audience coming into see the game. The invention of impact measurement and sensor technology uses the Piezo-electric film sensors on the protective clothing worn by the players to help the referees to make accurate decision of scoring in a game. The recently introduced judgment making technologies has however, surged the accountability of the referee and judges to ensure the precision of scoring, as scores now come spontaneously from two sources – (1) the electronic scoring system, (2) the judges via hand held electronic controllers. While the technology does mention about the points that may not have been seen via the open eyes due to the surged speed of the game and upturned complexity of practices, quite a lot of the interviewees expressed fear of points being scored through the closing of circuitry rather than power and/or technique. Some indicated to this with expressions such as “soft points”.
Some clearness
The use of protective headgear in contact sports has been a major issue of discussion amongst the sporting community for many years. Some people believe that headgear should be compulsory for all contact sports because they decrease the rate of catastrophic head injuries and they give the athlete a greater sense of security that there will be less head injuries. Others believe that headgear should not be compulsory, but instead optional, because they are an added cost to already expensive sports and they don’t offer any protection against concussions which can lead to brain damage and other problems in later
Lacrosse is a team sport that originated in the St. Lawrence Valley area, around 1546. It is played with a small rubber ball, a long stick with a sort of basket at the end, and padding (it is a contact sport). The objective of the game is to shoot the ball into the other team’s goal, using the stick to pass, cradle and shoot. At first, the game was played on a distance of even several miles, and anywhere between 100 and 100000 players in a single game. The teams are now composed of ten players each, 3 of them are offense, 3 defense, 3 midfielders, that can go anywhere on the field, and one goalie, which is the heart of the team. In this essay I will focus on the physics that stand behind lacrosse, and how companies that make lacrosse gear use our knowledge and understanding of forces to make padding and helmets that are safer, and sticks that are made for different kinds of play styles (contact defense, precision, fast offense…).
Players helmet so when they do make contact they will be less likely to feel anything.
Sport uniforms created by Nike are feats of technology, football uniforms on the collegiate have reinvented the game. Graff stats, “Sports after all was full of challenging arguments, debates, problems for analysis.” For example, some teams wear different uniforms every week, how does this impact the way athletes perform. Sometimes the colors or style someone makes their mental game change. This is a topic that can lead to heated debates and scientific analysis.
The creation of the Head Impact Telemetry System (HIT) and Star System offered ways to measure helmets in the level of protectiveness. Despite its capability of measuring linear acceleration and impact location, the HIT system is unable to measure angular acceleration accurately(2). Scholars state rotational and linear is not suitable in predicting concussions(5).With that, future innovation and improvement will provide better insight in understanding these test and concussions(1). Still,Regardless of the effectiveness of the product, helmets will never be perfect in preventing injuries(1).
As the popularity of soccer increases, controversy in relation to safety concerns continues to rise as well. Due to the ineffectiveness of protective headgear among soccer players, athletes should focus on alternatives to successfully prevent injuries. Concerned parents, coaches, and athletes should heightening rules and regulations and should properly evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of the soccer gear (i.e., balls, gloves, etc.) being used in order to reduce chances of serious
The key to the concussive blows in football is the result of the head down position, which increases the mass and momentum of the striking player and amplifying the energy transfer to the struck player. Falls to the ground resulted in the lowest impacts because when the back of the helmet hits the ground, the closing energy is only coming from the one player. The biomechanical analysis has resulted in stricter enforcement of rules against head-down and head-to-head tackling techniques.
Baseball is an interesting game that is extraordinarily enjoyable to play. This task is about comprehension the material science of a couple key parts of this game. One may ask what material science could need to do with baseball? Like most games baseball includes physical movement. Baseball incorporates each of the three planes of movement through tossing, hitting, and handling. The greater part of the traditional laws of mechanics can be connected to comprehend the material science of this amusement.
On November 6th, 1869 the young American sport called football was born. In 1903, the addition of the football helmet was introduced; however, the helmet was not mandatory for all players until 1943 (“History of the”). Since the mandatory protocol for the use of helmets, the football helmet has advanced in safety. The helmet evolved from a plastic shell-shaped helmet to a more protective rounded plastic helmet with a face mask and chin strap. After those improvements, the modifications for safety increased. Today, professional football players have impact indicators on their chin straps to identify head injuries. As players have gotten bigger and stronger, head injury awareness is a major part of player’s safety and if they are not aware, it often results in a concussion. Many players and viewers of the game do not know how concussions occur, what the effects are, and how engineers and associations try to prevent the occurrence.
In Conclusion, since the past season of the National Football League, helmet to helmet hits have raised so much controversy. Although some players and fans see the enforcement and strict discipline on these hits as weak and ill thought out, it is a much needed and important step in the right direction. The NFL has the responsibility to protect its players, to set an example for younger players, and to maintain a good reputation. With the current research regarding head injuries and concussions, and the change in the athleticism in players, it has grown especially more important to regulate play and enforce rules that are in the best interest of the player. The new enforcement of rules considering helmet to helmet hits, now a positive initial step to preventing concussions and head trauma. Therefore, with this step the NFL, taking responsibility for the safety of all football players and doing
Parents looking for something free, healthy and fun for their children to do this summer need to look no further. Ultimate MMA Training Center on the Hamden/North Haven line will be offering free classes this summer for kids on Monday nights from June through August.
Ways in which the equipment we wear, to the way coaches are now being taught to teach players the importance of technique to greatly reduce head injuries . Studies have shown that football helmets on average only reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury by approximately 20% , but with this new helmet made by RIDDELL which majority of football organization are wearing provide state of the art protection with this flexible shell technology. This technology helps reduce the impact force transfer to the athlete. The Tru-Curve Liner System allows the helmet to conform to the contours of a player’s head, while the Composite Energy Management System or (inner padding) absorbs impact energy. According to study done by Michelle Castillo of CBS news Riddell helmets out performed 10 other helmets and reduced the risk of a concussion up to about 10%. The importance of technique goes a long way. Head to head contact can be avoided when knowing how to properly form tackle.It is recommended that all coaches spend the time with their players to go over these ways to prevent injuries. Bobby Hosea, a 55-year-old former defensive back of Ucla has reached out to to all communities to run a camp that stresses one skill of how to tackle. Knowing how devastating a tackle could be if its not properly done I find this a very valuable source for all to take part in if you want to play the game of
With the significant rise of sport-related concussions, the use of protective gear has risen in the bid to minimise the effects on the athlete. Over the past few years there has been increasing innovation to improve protective headgear as previous NFL helmets were designed to simply protect against skull fractures. In spite of these advances, the previous design was not optimised to prevent brain injuries caused by concussion. New helmets have been designed to slow down the acceleration of force which is deemed to cause concussion. However, dramatic improvements need to be made. Unfortunately, the social conflict theory shows that sporting organisations would consider investment into creating safer equipment to be unprofitable and a waste.
There is a dark cloud hanging over the world of contact sports and it is growing at an alarming rate. With the size and speed of today’s athletes, the sports of football and hockey have become more exciting, fast paced, wide open, and fun to watch. However, there is another consequence of these ever growing athletes on their sports. They have made the collisions in them increasingly more violent. The velocity that these athletes hurl themselves through the air has created an atmosphere that could not have been imagined when these sports were created. Although the athletes’ bodies have become
The competition in a sport such as soccer increases every year by becoming more competitive amongst players and clubs worldwide (Soccer Facts, 2015). It is the most popular sport in the entire world having only about 3.5 billion’s soccer fans worldwide, currently there are 265 million players actively involved in soccer around the world, which is roughly around 4 percent of the world's population. The game of football is highly competitive and scientists have found new ways to improve and enhance the performance of an individual, by creating and adding new technologies to the game and these include changes in football boots, creating goal line technology and designing new clothes but most importantly science had also played a major role in revolutionizing the diet and nutrition needs of an athlete.
