Identifying and Explaining Physical skills and Physical techniques
Identifying and Explaining skills and techniques Physical Skills * Arm height * Head position * Speed of arm rotations during delivery * Ability to bowl for extended periods of time * Speed of the run up Arm Height Effects of High Actions: * Extra bounce than usual * Extra pace and sometimes bowlers are able to skid the ball too * Extra Balance in the delivery stride * Extra accuracy, if the bowler has a side on action notably. Head Position This shows a delivery side on. The head position of this player is kept facing the target, straight and steady at all times. Focusing on the target will provide the following things: * The delivery will ultimately go where targeted at * No possible injuries to the neck; any sudden jerks will stretch the neck muscles and sometimes will result in strains and tears * It will help in the momentum and balance in the delivery stride Speed of Shoulder Rotations If a player wants to bowl quickly, the main aspects of bowling quickly is 1. The speed of which the shoulder rotates and 2. An explosive action. Shoaib Ahktar, for example, has both of these and bowls with tremendous pace, the rotations of his shoulder allow him to exceed speeds of over 9Omph each delivery. Ability to bowl for extended periods of time In this scorecard of a 1938 Test Match, M G Waite, a single bowler bowls 72 overs. In doing this requires massive
Important points in making Sport Safer, fairer and less likely to cause injuries
Important points in making Sport Safer, fairer and less likely to cause injuries Safer sport Be in proper physical condition to play a sport. If you play any sports, you should effectively train for that sport. It is a mistake to expect the sport itself to get you into shape. Many injuries can be prevented by following a regular conditioning program of exercises designed specifically for your sport. Know and abide by the rules of the sport. The rules are designed, to keep things safe. This is important for anyone who participates in a contact sport. Rules of conduct, including illegal blocks and tackles are enforced to keep athletes healthy. Know and follow them. Wear appropriate protective gear and equipment. Protective pads, mouth guards, helmets, gloves and other equipment is important. Protective equipment that fits you well can keep safe your knees, hands, teeth, eyes, and head. Never play without your safety gear. Rest. Athletes with high consecutive days of training, have more injuries. While many athletes think the more they train, the better they'll play, this is a false impression. Rest is a vital factor of proper training. Rest can make you stronger and prevent injuries of overuse, fatigue and poor judgement. Always warm up before playing. Warm muscles are less
The importance of the Warm-up and Cool-down
The importance of the Warm-up and Cool-down Before any exercise of any form, it is essential to carry out a sufficient warm-up. This should include a continuous exercise that works the whole body such as jogging so that heart rate is raised to about 120 beats/min. This should be followed by a series of stretches, which should be held for no less than 15 seconds each. After this, one rehearsal of movement pattern should be performed. The warm-up enables the body to prepare itself for exercise so that the chance of injury is reduced. As the muscles warm-up, an enzyme is released which promotes the breakdown of glycogen to ensure that there is an energy supply to all the muscles. The warm-up also ensures that the person has as much oxygen as possible. It does this by distributing more blood to the muscles therefore increasing the heart rate and also the ventilation rate to increase the intake of air. During the warm-up, synovial fluid is also produced to enable the joints to move more effectively and with ease. This increased temperature of the muscles also allows them to stretch further increasing ones flexibility. If a sufficient warm up is carried out the risk of injury and muscle soreness is reduced to a minimum. A cool down after exercise helps to prevent muscle soreness and allows the body to return to a pre-exercise state as quickly as possible. After
Analysing and improving form: Badminton.
Analysing and improving form: Badminton. Tom Blakey. Player chosen: Greg Copeland Good attributes. * Greg plays a range of shots well and has good tactical knowledge * Greg has good reflexes and is therefore able to reach and play shots all around the court * Greg has a good level of fitness and can keep playing for long periods of time Bad attributes. * Greg lacks excellent knowledge about the sport and tactical knowledge is also lacking and needs improvement * Greg's shot execution also needs improving to gain better results * Greg lacks good acceleration which is vital for net shots * Greg lacks self-confidence Ways of improving. * Greg could improve his tactical knowledge by revising study guides and coaching manuals for badminton. This could also then be conferred with coaches or trainers, as this will then help him incorporate the coaches and the manuals points into one. This would help him drastically improve, as the improvement in results would be very noticeable. This would then improve his self-confidence, which is another thing that lacks in his game. This would get better as his performance and results improved. * Greg's shot execution is another thing that would need improvement. This would be done by coaching and practising. Greg doesn't whip his wrists, which is where power is generated and therefore he is clearly unable to play some match winning
Unit 2 pe btec
Unit 2 Health, Safety and Injury in Sport D2 Shin Guards Shin guards can reduce the force of hard blows by up to 77 percent, and that can mean the difference between a bump and a broken bone. Shin guards are mainly used to protect the lower leg against contact injuries. The anterior tibial border is very exposed as it only has a layer of skin over it. Repetitive blows occurring on someone not wearing shin guards can cause damage to the bone. Shin guards are also important for protecting the soft tissue of the lower leg. The lower leg is the most common site for compartment syndrome. The fascia covering the muscles is inelastic, so when a muscle swells a lot it is being contained by the fascia and this can actually cause significant damage. Repetitive blows to the leg can cause the fascia to scar down, become even tighter, and greatly increase a person's chance for developing compartment syndrome. Shin guards also give the player a smooth surface to play the ball off of. In terms of shin splints, the shin guard itself will not prevent them. But if your particular guard relies on compression sleeves to hold them the compression sleeves can help with shin splints. They should offer maximum protection while at the same time not hindering performance of the athlete. For soccer, goal keepers and forwards will need shin guards of the lightest weight because of their need for

What is a Hurricane?
Hurricanes What is a Hurricane? A hurricane is a violent tropical revolving storm with heavy rainfall and strong winds. Causes? Step 1: Warm seas 26-27 degrees Step 2: Air above heats up Step 3: Convection Currents occur Step 4: Air rises, cool and condenses- clouds form. Step 5: Warm air encourages evaporation which means that there is plenty of moisture available for rain. Where? In areas of intense low pressure where the air follows a spiral pattern. Over warm moist sea, 8 degrees to 15 degrees north and south of the equator. They normally move westwards and polewards after they reach land - although when they have they do tend to die out due to lack of moisture. When? Normally in late summer and early autumn. Effects? A hurricanes life- span is normally 7- 14 days. The winds average 160 km per hour and very heavy falls from cumulo- nimbus clouds. This can cause: . Flooding . Damage to power and water supplies . Mud slides . Houses are demolished especially near the coast. . Damage to crops and industries . And damage to roads. Can it be prevented? No, although it can be predicted: Low pressure can be estimated from satellite images and meteorological measurements. Its effects can also be minimised by: . Boarding up windows with wood, draw blinds and place a mattress in the window frame to prevent flying glass. . Evacuating near the

FlexibilityFlexibility is the ability to move our joints through their full range
Flexibility Flexibility is the ability to move our joints through their full range of movement. Flexibility is also known as mobility and suppleness. Flexibility is necessary to stay healthy and avoid injury. Types of stretching Static Stretching - We use our own strength. Slowly stretching limbs beyond normal range and holding position for a short period of time. Passive stretching - A partner or coach applies external force. Using a partner to slowly and carefully extend our limbs normal range. Active stretching - We move rhythmically and under control to extend and stretch. Extending limbs rhythmically beyond normal range. Through warm up essentials. Improving flexibility o We can improve our flexibility by stretching our muscles and tendons by extending our ligaments and supporting tissue all beyond their normal range. o We should only overload our muscles whilst we feel comfortable. o We must stretch the prime movers and then the antagonist muscles. This helps our muscles recover in a balanced way. o Flexibility exercises, or stretching, should be part of all training
