Data analysis & ranking: 169.5cm was left in the data set as it cannot be classified as an outlier. 24cm however was taken out as it is not possible to have a waist of 24cm without people in hospital 1. Mean: 78.797cm = 78.80cm 2. Standard deviation: 10.64 SDs 3. Ranking: Just above average – Around the 75th percentile Comparison with the BIOL1900 cohort: I am similar to the BIOL1900 Male cohort as I just above average with a waist circumference of 82cm. I used the mean to determine if I was above or below the average and the standard deviation value to determine how far from the mean I was. I found that as stated before, I have a slightly above average (75th percentile) waist circumference when compared to the Males in BIOL1900. I am …show more content…
I found that as stated before, I have a slightly above average Vertical jump when compared to the Males in BIOL1900 and approximately 0.36 SDs above the mean. I can jump 4.34cm (2d.p.) higher than the average vertical jump which means I can jump higher than 72% of the Males in BIOL1900. Comparison with the general population: When compared to the normative data for vertical jumps, I am simply average with 63cm. The data displays that 55-59cm is poor, 60-65cm is average, and 66-78cm is good and above 78cm is excellent. Thus, I am simply average being 16cm less than excellent and 3cm less than being good when compared with the normative data. The general population data is quite questionable as the standards most probably were not set in Australia and didn’t account for different environmental stresses. Nevertheless, when compared with the general population, I am average with a vertical jump of 63cm. Biophysical measure no. 3: Standing long jump Data analysis: *There is a value of 60cm and I chose not to take it rectify it as it could be a valid data point. 13 values were corrected from metres to cm. E.g. 1.7 to 170. 1. Mean: 216.23 cm 2. Standard deviation: 31.46 3. Ranking: Well above average – around the 80-85th percentile. Comparison with the BIOL1900 cohort: I am not similar to the BIOL1900 Male cohort as I well above average with a standing long
So, we should reject the null hypothesis H0. At a 0.05 level of significance level, we conclude that there is a significant difference between the average height for females and the average height for the males.
Thirteen healthy undergraduate students at the University of Brighton (8 males, 5 females; mean ± SD, age: 19.2 ± 1.5 years; body mass: 67.4 ± 16.1 kg; height: 177 ± 28.2m) were briefed with the study procedure. Their anthropometric data was collected, along with a medical questionnaire and their consent to participate in the study. All of the participants were familiar with the laboratory testing procedures.
Jumping (bilateral): Hip and knee is in extension, while ankle is in plantar flexion, and shoulder abduction and flexion while in the air.
This experiment was completed in order to compare calf circumference as well as weight to jump height. If a person has larger calves then they will likely be capable of reaching a higher vertical height. It can also be shown that since males tend to have larger calves, they can jump higher. A larger calf circumference is more likely to reflect a high vertical jump due to the fact that the fat content of the calves in the experiment was accounted for, therefore a large calf measurement in this experiment means a muscular calf. It is common knowledge that more muscle will result in stronger legs leading to a higher vertical.
This data shows the ages and systolic blood pressures (measured in millimeters of mercury) of 9 randomly selected adults, (38, 116), (41, 120), (45, 123), (48, 135), (51, 142), (53, 145), (57, 148), (61, 150), (65, 152).
If the observations listed below are considered the normal parameters (range) for adults, identify and list Frank’s abnormal observations?
After coaching and observing CrossFit athletes for over two years I can truly say that if you improve or fix 20 percent of your double under technique, you will improve your overall jump rope efficiency by 80 percent or
Their standing reach is determined by reading the Vertec’s set height and then adding the vanes – red vanes are every six inches, white vanes are every half inch, and blue vanes are every inch. Next you determine the subjects jump height giving them one preparation squat
Now you need to take into consideration yourself with regard to fitness along with height:
Participants of all ages were consistent while performing standing long jump, the only difference between participants was what level they were performing at. Age 2, Landon was performing at a high level with his leg but a very immature arm component. His arms just flopped while he was jumping, had no preparatory phase or need to use his arms they were nonexistent to him. This may be due to lack of balance, if he used his arms or bent his knees that would give him more power that maybe his body can’t handle and he then would not land correctly. His legs, though he had simultaneous extension he had barely any knee movement, no bend so his jumps were very low to the ground. Age 5, Sam, consistent with arms and legs heels up first and arms were
I could once leap twenty feet or more from a standing start. Something to do with the greater gravity on my home planet, I was told. Now, it's a struggle to
Do not jump over the stairs: If your knees are not in perfect condition then do not put any additional
My two strengths are my rhythm and avoid wasting my energy; it is important that everyone has a good rhythm when performing the triple jump this is because as the triple jump consists of 3 phases you will need a good rhythm so you are most likely not to mess it up meaning your score will not be cancelled. And as you have a good rhythm going you will gain momentum and power, increasing your jump resulting in a higher score. The reason why... How I could maintain this strength is by practicing only the 3 phases on a regular basis. From the performance profiling sheet my discrepancy value for rhythm was 9.
Figure 2 uses a logarithmic scale to show the data collected in a way that can be visualized. If the graph does not have a logarithmic scale, most of the data bunches up onto the left side of the graph. This makes it very hard to see what the data is showing.
On the graph above you can see that both the quadratic and the line are both adequate representations of the data collected by gold medalists for the men’s high jumps in the Olympics. Both of these lines follow the plots made on the original graph and they don’t stray too far from those lines either. There only outlier for the quadratic seem to be the medalist from the 1948 Olympics because his height is far below the quadratic. There might be some problems with the exact position of where the quadratic is and where the line is because they were drawn by hand and not on the computer like the stat plots which could potentially cause problems for interpreting the data.
