Abstract
How does changing the amount of gloves affect how many footballs are caught? This experiment is for all of the football players who want to know if football gloves really help you catch a football better and if gloves are worth buying. Group IV is the gloves. The individual IV is one glove, two gloves, and no gloves. The DV is how many footballs are caught out of 100. The constants are the same type of ball, same type of gloves, same person throwing, same time of day, same weather conditions, same hand the one glove worn on,hand single glove on, facing the same direction, catch all 100 at once, surface balls are caught on, same general spot of body the ball is thrown at, same speed the ball is being thrown at, same person catching, distance each ball is being thrown, same size of glove, same psi of the balls, …show more content…
The expectation for this experiment is for the two gloves to win with zero dropped footballs.If the amount of gloves is two, then the number of footballs caught will increase. This hypothesis is supported. Two football gloves caught more footballs than the other two. One glove and no glove both caught an average of 97 percent. If this experiment was done differently, it would be better to have a couple more trials on different days. Some experiment errors could be that not all footballs were thrown the same because it was thrown by a person and it wasn’t a machine. Another error is that it was not all thrown the same, because the experiment was not done by a machine.
Background Information Have 100 footballs thrown at the subject with 1 glove, 2 gloves, and no gloves to see the difference. I play wide receiver in football and would like to know if football gloves affect how many footballs are caught. This project is trying to show if football gloves truly help football players catch.
