The athletic participants’ calf sizes were typically between 30 cm and 32 cm, as well as 37 cm and 38 cm. All of the athletes’ vertical leaps were higher than 25 cm. This data displayed an inverse linear relationship between the leap and calf size; a best fit line could be drawn. The t-test produced a mean value of 30.2 +/- 4.2 cm. The non athletic participants’ data showed that the calf sizes varied, and the height of the vertical leaps tended to be lower than the athletes.…
Clubfoot is defined as a congenital foot deformity characterized by a kidney shaped foot that turns inward and points down. The forefoot is curved inward, the heel is bent inward, and the ankle is fixed in planter flexion with the toes pointing down. Shortened tendons on the inside of the lower leg, together with abnormally shaped bones that restrict movement outwards cause the foot to turn inwards. A tightened achilles tendon causes the foot to point downwards. The medical term for clubfoot is talipes equinovarus . It is the most common congenital disorder of the lower extremity. There are several variations, but talipes equinovarus being the most common. Clubfeet occurs in approximately 1 in every 800-1000 babies, being twice as common in boys than girls. One or both feet may be affected.…

The research proposal in Chapter III investigates factors that may influence young athlete's motivation. Understanding how factors effect young athlete's motivation is important, since youth sports literature has identified motivation as a determining factor whether young athletes will continue participation. Therefore, coaches must develop an effective motivational strategy, which will enhance the young athlete's performance and…

“A lot of teenagers are into high school sports. An injury to a high school athlete can be a very disappointment for the teen and the family. The pressure to play can lead to making decisions that may lead to additional injury with long term injuries. High school sports injuries can cause problems that require surgery and may lead to arthritis pain later on in life. Teenage athletes are injured at about the same rate as real professional athletes, but injuries that affect high school athletes are way more often and different from those that affect adult athletes. This is mostly because high school athletes are often still growing. Growth is normally uneven bones, which pull at tight muscles and tendons.”…
The injuries some students attain can be physically life changing. Student athletes are different than adult athletes because they are still growing. “Growth is generally uneven: Bones grow first, which pulls at tight muscles and tendons. This uneven growth pattern makes younger athletes more susceptible to muscle, tendon, and growth plate injuries” (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons). An untreated injury alone is devastating as it can cause permanent damage or disability.…
Sprinting highly qualifies as physical activity, therefore there are biomechanical and kinesiological aspects that are behind this vigorous act on the body. Sprinting is an essential activity and skill that is a key element in a wide smorgasbord of sports. Some of the more popular sports include football, baseball, soccer, and track that all require a great deal of sprinting. It could be a quick sprint to first base, a short sprint to finish a play in soccer, a long sprint towards the end zone protecting a football, or even a sprint to be the first to cross the finish-line in track. Each of these acts put a lot of stress on the body and it 's up to the biomechanics of the lower limbs to work precisely in order to handle the stress.…

For my continuous assessment I have chosen to research a 100 metre sprinter. I will describe the physiological demands required for the sport, look at the different innovations in my chosen sport and how they have improved world record holders and athletes, and finally I will discuss the issue of drugs and ergogenic aids in that sport.…
One way that growth patterns impact skill acquisition and performance in physical activity is due to the rate if the growth pattern. When the growth pattern is rapid children may have a lesser ability to learn new motor skills (Pangrazi & Beighle 2010). With body physique a more muscular, stronger child will have an easier time performing skills that require speed, strength, and agility, while a smaller thinner child will perform these skills as well they be better at more aerobic like skills (Pangrazi & Beighle 2010). Heavier overweight children may have problems performing in many activities of physical education. Skeletal maturity affects boys and girls differently when it comes to their ability to perform motor skills. Boys who are more skeletal mature tend to have the ability to perform motor skills better, while for girls it tends to play less of a factor with the ability of their motor skills (Pangrazi & Beighle 2010).…
