  • Mechanics of the Jump Approach
    MECHANICS OF THE JUMP APPROACH A Manuscript by Irving Schexnayder, University of Southwestern Louisiana Importance of the Jump Approach When projected into flight, the center of mass of any object (including the human body) follows a predetermined, predictable, unalterable parabolic curve. Thus, establishment of the proper flight path is totally dependant upon proper force application during ground contact. Since all takeoff forces, including eccentric forces, are applied while still in contact with the ground, any resultant rotations are produced during ground contact as well. These rotations continue into flight and assist or interfere with efficient landings and clearances. In light of these facts, it is obvious that proper force application at takeoff is the only way to produce good performances in the jumping events. Although good takeoffs produce good jumps, there are prerequisites to the execution of correct takeoff mechanics. Consider an athlete executing an approach run in a jumping event. A person running at relatively low speed can demonstrate greater accuracy in aligning the body into positions favorable for efficient takeoffs, because prior mechanical errors can be easily corrected. However, when dealing with the high velocities we see in competitive jumping, the correction of errors occurring during the run is limited due to time constraints, and is often impossible without great compromises. Also, at these higher velocities, reflexes play a much greater part in the pattern of movement, again minimizing the chances to correct earlier errors in body positioning. The execution of any part of an athletic endeavor is largely dependant upon the proper execution of prior parts. In cyclic tasks such as running, the correct execution of one cycle is prerequisite to the correct execution of the next cycle.

  • The JUMP! Impact Fund Is an Initiative Created by the JUMP! Foundation to Bring Experiential Education to Youth in Underserved Communities
    Impact The JUMP! Impact Fund is an initiative created by the JUMP! Foundation to bring experiential education to youth in underserved communities. The JUMP! Foundation is a non-profit social enterprise that uses experiential education to advance a world in which individuals, community leaders, and global citizens realize their passions and potential. GLOBAL HUB CHINA HUB CANADA HUB 1/5-1/6, Soi Ari 2, Phahonyothin Road No.15 9th Floor, Jingchao Mansion, SFU RADIUS Innovation Bangkok 10400 No.5 Nongzhangguan South Road, 308 W. Hastings Street, Thailand Chaoyang District, Beijing 100026 Vancouver, BC V6B 1K6 [email protected] JUMP! Impact The mission of JUMP! Impact is to: The Challenge? Today, children and youth aged 24 years and below make up nearly 40 percent of the world’s population, many of whom are concentrated in underdeveloped countries. Major challenges in these regions include inequity of wealth distribution, lack of employment opportunities, and rapid urbanization. The marginalization of youth in this context carries enormous negative implications for our global future as it causes a sense of disenfranchisement and lack of upward mobility, which can lead to ethnic, religious, and political conflicts1. Our Response? Innovative programming that utilizes experiential education to transform youth from under- served communities into globally competitive leaders for positives change in their lives and the world. We pair this approach with a unique methodology which brings together local NGOs, leaders, and youth to create sustainable impact.

  • Development of a Speed Model for Terrain Park Jumps
    Project Number: CAB-001 ` THE DEVELOPMENT & SOCIETAL IMPACTS OF A SPEED MODEL FOR TERRAIN PARK JUMPS An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Heather M. La Hart Date: Professor Chris A. Brown, IQP Advisor 1. Safety Analysis & Liability Project Number: CAB-001 ABSTRACT The objective of this project was to develop ways to design safer terrain parks. Two separate models, The Geometrical Jump Design Model and The Speed Model, were developed and produced criteria for the initial design and predicted the speed for any jump. To understand the opinions of society on terrain park safety and this research, questionnaires were distributed within the skiing culture. Through field data and surveys it was found that utilizing terrain park design models and integrating them into society and terrain would mostly be welcomed and used. ii Project Number: CAB-001 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to acknowledge Dan Delfino a fellow friend and student at WPI for his ongoing and continuous help, additions, and support of this project over the past two years. I would also like to thank my advisor Professor Chris Brown for the inspiration of this project, his continuous hard but helpful criticism, advice, guidance, and support throughout the entirety of this research. I would like to thank Hanna St.John for providing me a place to stay while conducting my research and support in Colorado. I would also like to thank the resorts of Copper Mountain and Breckenridge Mountain which made collecting data for this research possible.

  • Flame Test Concept Inventory
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Ana V. Mayo Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Director Dr. Stacey Lowery Bretz Committee Chair Dr. Ellen J. Yezierski Reader Dr. Neil D. Danielson Reader Dr. Richard T. Taylor Graduate School Representative Dr. Jennifer Blue ABSTRACT ATOMIC EMISSION MISCONCEPTIONS AS INVESTIGATED THROUGH STUDENT INTERVIEWS AND MEASURED BY THE FLAME TEST CONCEPT INVENTORY by Ana V. Mayo One challenge of chemistry education arises from the limited experiences that students have with some abstract concepts first introduced during chemistry classes. The abstract concept of atomic emission is formally introduced during secondary education in the U.S. science curriculum. The topic is re-introduced in the first year of, and elaborated upon throughout, the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. Current chemistry education literature does not address students’ understandings of atomic emission. This study addresses this gap in the literature. Through interviews, this study investigated students’ understandings of atomic emission using flame test demonstrations and energy level diagrams. In both open-ended and flame test questions, ideas related to enthalpy, ionization, and changes in states of matter were common reasoning patterns when students builded explanations for atomic emission. The misconceptions found in interviews allowed the development of the Flame Test Concept Inventory (FTCI). The FTCI was administered to high school and undergraduate chemistry students. The results of 459 high school students across the U.S and 362 undergraduate chemistry students from a predominantly undergraduate institution shed light into diverse categories of misconceptions at different levels of student chemistry expertise.
