What Biomechanical Principles Are Interrelated With Anatomy And How They Affect A Gymnast 's Performance

1.1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals

So far in my life I haven’t really had any memorable experiences to share, but I know that Gymnastics has been a big part of my life. I have been doing gymnastics for about 10 years. Been doing competitive gymnastics for at least six years and have joined USAG league three years ago. And can I say it has been a GREAT part of my life. A major lesson in life I have learned in this sport is to never give up and be confident. It sounds a little cheesy but I have learned that if you just put your mind to it you can accomplish lots of things. Once I came to high school, I had expected it too be a lot worse then I had imagined but I have enjoyed it so far. The people are nice and since Northwood is very small I’ve gotten to know lots of amazing and

My bestest friends Megan, Allie and Kylee all were super kindhearted and cheered me on!

For my report I decided to do it on gymnastics. My report will include the history about gymnastics. I will talk about how to do gymnastics and the benefits for doing gymnastics. I will also explain how I am involved in gymnastics. In the late eighteenth-and the early nineteenth-century gymnastics began. It started in Germany. Johann Friedrich Gutsmuths and Friedrich Ludwig Jahn created gymnastics. It is different now because back then they did not have all of the things that we have now. To do gymnastics, you need lots strength and flexibility. Some of The rules for gymnastics are that on floor you have to stay inside the line so if you are doing flips on the floor when you land you must be inside the line Gymnastics is good for you because

Gymnastics is a very difficult sport that takes a lot of commitment. Many children take on gymnastics at a young age and strive to become Olympic gymnasts by competing their whole lives, but not a lot of people are able to pursue that dream due to the challenges that come with being a gymnast. Coaches are currently conditioning and training their gymnasts at very demanding and advanced levels. Although the sport has several positive health benefits on the body, it also puts gymnasts at a very high risk of injury. It is not very common for these injuries to be severe, however, if they are not treated properly it is likely for them to lead to chronic pain and even bone fractures.

In sport, an understanding of biomechanical principles allows athletes and coaches to breakdown movement and learn the correct way to execute a skill (Singh Yadav, 2016, P 669-670).

Many people are under the assumption that kinesiology was introduced to the world in the more recent years. They tend to date its beginnings to when it became the science and subject matter we have come to know today and was introduced in our school systems as a potential degree to major in. Through research and digging into the world’s history I have found the origins of kinesiology to date back as far as 384 B.C. In this paper I will be uncovering the roots of the science we are familiar with today and introduce you to the key players who contributed to the science and fundamentals that encompass this incredible area of study.

Biomechanics is the study concerned with the internal and external forces acting on the human body and the effects produced by these forces (BrianMac Sports Coach, 2014). The purpose of this report is to biomechanically analyse a partner’s Oztag grubber kick by comparing the kick to that of a skilled performer. Oztag is a popular Australian sport, played by many. The grubber kick is a short kick ground, used as an attacking ploy when the player is near the try line. This report will focus on the force summation, Newton’s Laws, levers and balance in relation to the performance of my partner’s kick and will suggest recommendations to improve the success of her kick.

According to Chris Mallac, the Sports Injury Doctor, gymnasts suffer many growth problems. This includes back problems. One problem includes Scheuermann's disease. One is diagnosed with this disease when the front portion of their back does not develop. In fact, gymnasts are commonly diagnosed because of the repetitive flexing and arching of the back. This disease leads to hunchback. Specifically, the spine starts to wedge out. Scheuermann's disease can take gymnasts out of the sport for periods of time to let their spine grow and function properly. Gymnasts are also commonly diagnosed with premature osteoporosis. This is when the bones weaken, leading to bone loss and severe back pain. These problems are caused because the back never has time

To achieve M2 you will have to mention appropriate references and valid academic sources for gaining information.

(Hewett, 2005) Compared with male athletes, female athletes tend to generate greater abduction loads during cutting and landing, which may, in part, explain the discrepancy in injury rates observed between the sexes. (McLean S.G, 2005-2007) In regards to planes of motion, the quadriceps and hamstrings muscles have the potential to provide dynamic frontal-plane knee stability because of their abduction and/or adduction moment arms. (Lloyd D.G 2001) Exercising a neuromuscular biomechanical model, noted that the quadriceps and hamstrings not only have the potential to support frontal-plane moments but also actually do provide support to abduction-adduction moments (Lloyd D.G

The purpose of this project is to analyze an overhand volleyball serve from a biomechanical perspective. Biomechanics is defined as forces and movements on living systems. It looks at the internal and external forces that act on the body, and the movements that these forces create. By understanding the biomechanical concepts, you can train your body to move with accuracy. It also enables us to develop new skills, correct minor mistakes, develop new equipment design, and improve safety to reduce the risk for injury. The volleyball serve almost looks like a throw-like movement because the joints used extend one after another. The reason behind this is that within the movement, the shoulder extends before the elbow and wrist; the shoulder actually begins to extend while the elbow is still

Gymnasts must train for maximum strength gains, with little hypertrophy, in order maintain a slim physique (Sands, McNeal, Jenni, & Delong, 2000). Gymnasts have to be careful, because they cannot gain too much muscle mass, to the point where they are too heavy for their event (Sands et al., 2000). If they are too heavy it will weigh them down, decrease performance, and limit their range of motion. Gymnasts must be able to train for strength relative to body weight rather than total strength (Sands et al.,
