Improved Essays
DISCUSSION

The aim of this investigation was to see whether exercising the Vestibulo Ocular Reflex increases and improves balance throughout all ages.

From the results it is clear to see that majority of the test subjects improved after doing the VOR exercise. The results showed that 9 out of 60 people decreased and the rest of the participants tested increased. A large amount of 85% applicants increase in time after stimulating the Vestibulo Ocular Reflex. The mean of test A (before stimulating the VOR) was 13,3 seconds, and the mean for test B (after stimulating the VOR) was 19,71 seconds. The overall average percentage increase of all applicants was 48%.

Overall children’s times have increased the most proving our hypothesis correct.

    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.…

    What Is Ideokinesis?

    • 273 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Ideokinesis, a practice that provides physical benefits in terms of fluidity in movement, posture, and body alignment through the process of imagery and visualization, utilizes multiple techniques in order to train specific body systems such as the skeletal and nervous systems to adapt to newer and healthier neuromuscular methods. A significant mechanism used to teach the benefits of Ideokinesis is the 9 lines of movement. Reflecting on and working towards stabilizing the 9 lines of movement allows for the distribution of strength and equal balance in one’s body parts, done mainly by a prominent sense of imagining certain scenarios along with some physical movement. The 9 lines of movement consists of the first line going from the big toe to…
