The Science Of Human Physical Activity

There are a lot of aspects that should be taken into account when determining what makes an athlete successful. One could argue that natural ability is one of the determining factors which leads to success. For example, if an athlete has dreams of playing in the NBA then height makes a difference. There aren’t many successful players in the league under six feet tall. One could argue that level of competition plays a role in the development of an athlete. This could include the skill level of the opponent or outside factors such as playing conditions or game circumstances. These types of arguments play a role in athlete success, but will not be used in this paper because they are factors that are out of the athlete’s control. This paper

After the recession in Blueville, the violent crime rate increased by __% and similarly the property crime rate increased by __%. The increase in both property and violent crime can be explained using the routine activities theory. Routine activities theory states that crime is a normal function of everyday life and is a result of the interaction between a suitable target, an absence of a capable guardian, and a motivated criminal. A suitable target is someone or something that are vulnerable and desirable to the offender. A target is chosen as suitable by the criminal and as a result the idea of a suitable target varies from person to person. However, a suitable target can often be found in areas that are dark, secluded or lack surveillance

In 1979, Lawrence E. Cohen and Marcus Felson published “Social Change and Crime Rate Trends: A Routine Activities Approach”; this was the first paper introducing routine activities theory. Most criminological theories before routine activities theory focused more specifically on the socioeconomic factors affecting crime such as poverty, race, etc. Felson and Marcus believed instead that the routine activities of individuals and groups are the driving force behind crime.

The theories that have been long used to understand how far an offender is willing to travel to commit a crime is crime pattern theory and routine activities theory. Crime pattern theory suggests that offenders will come across opportunities to commit crime by going on their day to day activities. This is where an offenders nodes and paths are identified. Nodes are areas where every day activities are performed for a long period of time, like work or school. Crime pattern theory also suggest that crime will most likely happen while a person is on their way from one node to another as long as the opportunity is present. Having that the offender is familiar with their path to their home, job, or school it is easier from them to come across a

The purpose of this chapter was to review the range of interests in the field of kinesiology, discuss the naming of the field, and to discuss whether the field is a profession or discipline. Thus, the author examined the changing of emphases and direction of the field through time.

Routine activity theory is an attempt to identify and sum up criminal activities and their patterns through explanations of changes in crime (Cohen & Felson, 1979). It is based on criminal events, in grouping in space and time of the minimal elements that make them up. According to (Hoover, 2014), Routine activities theory is a criminological perspective for which the core concept is the crime triangle of a motivated offender, a suitable target, and lack of guardianship.

Rather than choosing an exercise that is pre-determined, has been recommended, or we have grown comfortable with or feels outdated, we have the power to shift our reality to choosing movement that reflects our vibrational state. When thinking about moving in a way that makes you feel amazing, are you excited or do you hold resistance? Do you feel worthy of feeling good and joyful? Do you believe choosing new forms of exercise will support you in accomplishing your goals?

For this article, the alleged serial killer of 20 people was finally getting a trial after more than 20 years in Los Angeles. Of course I have to say alleged because even though DNA evidence is astonishing, he is innocent until proven guilty (Even though his stare seems to suggest otherwise). Although one of his victims did cheat death, and the alleged murderer was caught by evidence on an uneaten dough and a drinking glass, one would think that the victim would enjoy the right for a speedy trial, however this is not the case as the suspect has some brilliant defense attorneys.

This interview gives a lot of great advice honestly as it pertains to the routine activities theory- first off, Routine Activities Theory is where our patterns of behavior or how we interact with people can impact the chances of crime occurring. So some of the things he said such as not leaving your facebook privacy settings so wide open, careful of the emails you open or sites you visit, etc. are perfect examples.

The last testing is biomechanics; it is the science of explaining how and why the human body moves in the way that it does (BASES, D.u.). This section of the essay will involve looking into how the athlete performs a skill; going into detail about how they perform a particular skill and what position they get into when performing the skill. This is important for athletes because they could be performing a skill wrong which could lead to an injury, also by an athlete learning the correct technique, they could improve and find it easier to perform a skill.

In the overweight and obese population, appears to impact significantly children who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHOH). The low level of physical activities among DHOH children has one of the highest cases of overweight and obesity in both the America and Europe (Martin, Shapiro, & Prokesová, 2013). The incline in weight gain among DHOH children is caused by the lack of social support from their parents and peers (Martin et al., 2013). The association between DHOH and physical inactivity’s among these children remains scarce provided that more research is indeed needed in this novice development area (Martin et al., 2013; Ward, Farnsworth, Babkes & Perrett, 2012).
