Student 6: High Not Achieved

Free throw: Knee, hinge joint, movement = flexion. Agonist = hamstring, Antagonist = Quadricep 1 When the hamstring contracts and the quadriceps relaxes, that pulls the hamstring. Layup: Shoulder Joint=ball and socket; movement = flexion and extension. Agonist = deltoid Antagonist is Latissimus dorsi. How = when the deltoid contracts, it holds the arm up and the latissimus dorsi is relaxed

Free throw: if your lower to the ground, you cant jump as high and your angle of release has to be a lot higher than someone who is taller. A taller person has larger levers which is easier to get the shot. With a short person, they have to put more effort in. Layup: For a short person with shorter levers, its a lot easier to move around people. You can change direction a lot faster than a taller person. With a taller person, they are closer to the hoop so they don’t have to jump as high. They are already closer to the hoop because of their height. They can’t change direction as fast as a shorter person can

Free throw: Lower Centre of Gravity – with the bend in the knee, you get a wider stance and a lower centre of gravity. You are not just standing up here, you are not off balance- you have got the gravity and it is easier to shoot from there so you can aim better and you are not off balance. If you are lower to the ground, you cannot jump as high, so your angle of release has to be a lot higher than someone else who is taller. Layup: Lower centre of gravity. You can move a lot easier around people who are closer to you when trying to set your lay up and you can change direction a lot faster

Free throw: If I am balanced before I take the free throw shot, then this is good like if I wasn’t balanced. So if I had a wide base of support, I would be better off than not having a wide base of support, because if I didn’t my shot might go crooked because I was not balanced. Layup: Lower your C.O.G so you can change direction faster

Before the game of basketball my resting heart rate was 50BPM while during the game it almost tripled to 140BPM. An immediate change to my respiratory system is my breathing rate before the game was 7BPM it also nearly triples like my heart rate. The energy system used in basketball is the anaerobic lactic system, this is high-intensity for medium duration. If I wanted to lay basketball at a very high level and trained for 6 months to a year, there would be significant changes to my muscular, cardio vascular and respiratory systems.

The functional anatomy and biomechanical principles were completed verbally by the student. The assessor asked the student the verbal questions that were completed during class time. The assessor videoed each student, and has supplied a summary of evidence for each student. For the purpose of providing detailed annotated exemplars, some aspects of the student work have been fully transcribed. The exercise physiology principles were completed as a report (in class, supervised).
