What is biomechanics?
The study of forces and the effects on living systems
What is analysis?
Breaking information down into smallers parts
What is development?
Improving, applying an intervention
What kind of approach is Biomechanics?
Multidisciplinary approach
What does the approach of biomechanics mean?
Acknowledges that psychology and physiology also affects performance
According to Lees (1999), what is biomechanics aimed to do?
Improve performance, reduce risk injury
What are the two ways of analysis?
Qualitative and quantitative analysis
What are the sources of critical features?
Ideal performance, elite athletes, knowledge of movement mechanics, hierarchical models, coaching manuals, research
What is included in the preparation stage of qualitative analysis?
Common errors, critical features, hierarchical models, elite performance, needs analysis
What are the advantages of observation by eye?
Simple, cost effective, immediate
What are the disadvantages of observation by eye?
Requires memory, perception, seen by single person,speed of action may be too fast, false positives
What are the advantages of observation by video?
Makes a record of actions, can observe at slower rate, review action, make comparisons
What are the disadvantages of observation by video?
Increase cost and time, not immediate
What is Knudson and Morrison's (1997) model of qualitative analysis?
Preparation, Observation, Evaluation/diagnosis, Intervention
What is Hay and Reid's (1988) model of analysis?
Develop a model of skill, observe performance and identify faults, ranking the priority of faults, instruct performer
What are the 5 elements in Systematic Observational Strategy (SOS)?
1. Plan to focus on critical features 2. Exercise as much control over situation 3. Angle of view or vantage point 4. Number of observations needed 5. Include plan for extended observation
What is included in the evaluation stage?
Strengths and weaknesses
What the evaluation based on?
Critical features
What is included in the diagnosis stage?
Review, not correct vs correct, range of correctness, addressing the cause not the symptom
What are the 6 considerations of the intervention stage? (Bartlett)
1. Consider individual
2. Maximise improvement
3. Order of difficulty
4. Correct sequence
5. Base of support
6. Critical features first
What are the descriptions of linear motion?
Distance/displacement
Speed/velocity
Acceleration
What is the function of a joint marker?
Marks the joint centre which movement occurs around
What is kinetics?
Explanation of motion
What is a definition of a force?
A push or pull
What are the different forces? (acting)
Weight
Ground reaction force
Friction
Muscle force
What are Newton's 3 laws called?
1. Law of inertia
2. Law of acceleration
3. Law of action reaction
Describe Newton's 1st law
1. Body continues in a state of rest or motion in a straight line unless a force acts on it
Describe Newton's 2nd law
The change of motion of an object is directly proportional to the force causing it and inversely proportional to the acceleration of the object
Describe Newton's 3rd law
To every action there is always an opposed equal reaction
What is the centre of mass?
Point in a body at which entire mass may be assumed to be concentrated
What is stability?
Capacity to return to equilibrium or to its original position after being displaced.
An object is in equilibrium when...
The centre of mass is within the base of support
To be more stable you need...
Low centre of mass
Large base of support
Increased weight
Increased muscle mass
What are the two functions of levers?
1. To overcome a larger resistance than the force applied
2. To increase the distance a resistance can be moved using an effort greater than the resistance
What are the 4 components of a lever?
Lever arm, fulcrum, resistance,force
What is the most common class of lever?
3rd class- between the fulcrum and resistance
What influences force production?
Type of action
Neurological issues
Energy issues
Size of muscle
Velocity of action
Position of joint
Describe the length-tension relationship
When sarcomere length is shortening (flexion) or lengthening (extension), force decreases
Optimal sarcomere length is in the middle, exerts most amount of force
What are the basic principles of practice?
Amount and quality
Learning vs performance
Conflicting goals
Practice and test sessions
Guidance
Types of practice
What are 3 common feedback types?
External verbal
Kinesthetic intrinsic
Extrinsic or augmented feedback
What are the 3 functions of feedback?
Information
Reinforcement
Motivation
What are the 3 functions of feedback?
