Biomechanics Lab - Aquatics

We are going to performing three different skills 1- spring board jumping/diving Back dive 2- a flip turn and streamline position 3- water polo passing/game

You are to select two of the three with a partner and analyze the skill.

1. What model would be the best to depict the human motion. Explain your answer.

2. Describe the type of motion involved with the movements.

3. Are any levers being used? If so what type, be specific.

4. Describe How your knowledge of the three laws of physics aids in your analysis?

5. All of the above activities require significant body balance and stability. What factors affected the stability and balance of your chosen skills?

6. analyze 2 the 3 skills with a partner using Figure 7.23 in your text.

7. Which principles of Biomechanics are involved in your skill?

Include in your analyze: ● Title page ● a description of the activity ● Graph ● Diagram ● Submit the five questions in subheading format ● one report per partner.
