  • ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURY to Sideways
    ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURY WHAT IS THE ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT? The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of four major ligaments that stabilizes the knee joint. A ligament is a tough band of fibrous tissue, similar to a rope, which connects the bones together at a joint. There are two ligaments on the sides of the knee (collateral ligaments) that give stability to sideways motions: the medial collateral ligament (MCL) on the inner side and the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) on the outer side of the knee. Two ligaments cross each other (therefore, called cruciate) in the center of the knee joint: The crossed ligament toward the front (anterior) is the ACL and the one toward the back of the knee (posterior) is the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). The ACL prevents the lower bone (tibia) from sliding forward oo much and stabilizes the knee to allow cutting, twisting and jumping sports. The PCL stops the tibia from moving backwards. HOW CAN THE ACL TEAR? The most common mechanism that tears the ACL is the combination of a sudden stopping motion on the leg while quickly twisting on the knee. This can happen in a sport such as basketball, for example, when a player lands on the leg when coming down from a rebound or is running down the court and makes an abrupt stop to pivot. In football, soccer, or lacrosse, the cleats on the shoes do not allow the foot to slip when excess force is applied. In skiing, the ACL is commonly injured when the skier sits back while falling.

  • The Influence of Warm-Up Exercises on Knee and Elbow Joint Motion for Standing Long Jump Performance
    37th International Society of Biomechanics in Sport Conference, Oxford, OH, United States, July 21-25, 2019 THE INFLUENCE OF WARM-UP EXERCISES ON KNEE AND ELBOW JOINT MOTION FOR STANDING LONG JUMP PERFORMANCE Marco Vinicio Campana Bonilla1 and Mansour Naser Alsowayan2 Physical Education & Sport Coaching College, Beijing Sport University, Beijing, China1; Sport Sciences & Physical Activity College, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia2 The purpose of this study was to analyse the influences of the motion angles of the knee and elbow joints on the standing long jump performance of high school students. Twenty- nine participants were assigned to either a control group to perform static and dynamic joint exercises or an experimental group to perform basic sprinting drill warm-up exercises. Both groups performed pre-, control, and post-standing long jump tests. Motion analysis of the knee and elbow joints was conducted in the sagittal plane by using video recording. Our findings support that basic sprint drill warm-up exercises can enhance the jump length in the youth. The implementation of warm-up exercises with basic sprint drills and motion analysis could be useful for determining the ranges of motion of the elbow and knee joints and improving standing long jump performance. KEYWORDS: jumping kinetics, fitness test, arm swing, takeoff. INTRODUCTION: Standing long jump (SLJ) is considered one of the best functional tests for evaluating explosive muscular strength/power of the lower limbs (Konz, 2017). It is one of the Chinese national fitness tests for high school students and a reliable field fitness test for the youth (Ramirez-Velez et al., 2017).

  • 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.

  • Two-For-One Responses
    TWO-FOR-ONE RESPONSES Two-For-One Limit Raise in Clubs A two-level major suit jump takeout of a 1Ê opening in competition into a major suit is called 2-4-1. It is highly invitational but not forcing, showing a four-card suit, a game-invitational hand, and at least four clubs. That's two bids for the price of one, while robbing LHO of bidding space. A minimum opener can pass with four-card support (or a strong three, with a side singleton), bid 2NT, or retreat to 3Ê. A 2NT rebid implies a three-card club suit. He can also bid 2Í over 2Ì (you could have both majors), but that has to be forcing. With a good hand opener can raise, force with a new suit, or bid game. Having shown support for his minor, you are free to bid something else after opener’s forcing rebid. The purpose of 2-4-1 is to handle hands with a (possibly weak) four-card major and good four-card or better support for opener's clubs. A raise is not forcing, so a jump to game is stronger: South West North 1Ê 1Ë 2Ì - four hearts, good clubs, may have spades too Pass - minimum, four hearts 2Í - forcing, but may be minimum 2NT - natural, minimum hand, maybe only three clubs 3Ê - signoff, minimum, would have passed a limit raise 3Ë - asks for a diamond stopper, but may be a cue toward slam 3Ì - invitational 4Ì - stronger raise 3Í/4Ë - splinter, very good hearts 4Ê - invitational The jump may be made with two four-card majors in a 4=4=4=1 or 4=4=0=5 hand.

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.
