    In What is the Safest Sprint Starting Position for American Football Players?, a research article provided by the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, authors Bonnechere, Beyer, Rooze, and Serge Van Sint, state that the four-point starting position leads to a higher risk of concussion or neck injury in American football players. They also deduce from their research that there is no influence on the learning process effect in varying individuals (i.e. football players and non-players). Bonnechere et al. support their claims through the observation of biomechanics. Data was gathered from twenty-five healthy young men, twelve of whom were football players.…

    As I mentioned in the previous assignment, I want to increase my baseline 500 steps each week so that by the end of the semester I am recording 10,000 steps which is in the active range. I will continue walking around the property at work and stepping in place whenever I possibly can. I will stick to walking to the mailbox which is two blocks from home as opposed to driving up to it on my way home. If I have days where I am tired I will just give myself another pep talk. I have a pretty good support system thus far so I will lean on them if pushing myself on my own does not cut it.…

    The foot and ground exert an equal and opposite force on each other. This is known as the ground reaction force.12 The position and acceleration of the runner's center of mass regulates the direction and magnitude of the ground reaction force. For instance, a runner sprinting from a standstill. Throughout the initial phase of acceleration, the body is inclined forward and therefore the center of gravity falls in front of the contact surface.…

Same with friction, friction keeps the movement steady and momentum determining how fast and how far the movement will take the marcher. This time there is force. As stated, instead of a lift there is a push of the foot giving more momentum to the movement.…

    A 3-year prospective study was conducted by Herman, Giladi, and Hausdorff on 265 healthy older adults (Herman, Giladi, & Hausdorff, 2011). The researchers evaluated the TUG test, in comparison to the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) and the Berg Balance Test (BBT) in assessing the participants’ functional ability and risk for falls (Herman, Giladi, & Hausdorff, 2011). With the TUG test, the time is recorded as the participant stands up from a chair of standard height, between 44 to 47 centimeters, and walks at a comfortable pace with or without an assistive device (Herman, Giladi, & Hausdorff, 2011). The participant is then asked to turn, walk back and sit down and the recorded time is stopped when the participant is sitting down comfortably on the chair (Herman, Giladi, & Hausdorff, 2011). Time to complete the TUG test is dependent on the participant’s performance.…
