Answer 1

Study of effieciency of the movemetns of limbs

Question 2

Give an example of limb kinematics.

Answer 2

Putting reflective markers on performer and theya re videoed using 3D analysis

Question 3

What are Force plates?

Answer 3

Measures all of the ground reaction

Question 4

Give an example of force plates.

Answer 4

Measures grounf reaction forces from a high jumper jumping on a force plate.

Question 5

Name four uses of limb kinematics

Answer 5

Data immediately available
Coaches can use the analysis to make changes to technique
Examine common causes for injury
Investigate the impact of equipment on technique

Question 6

Name three downfalls of limb kinematics

Answer 6

Equipment is expensive
Labatory coniditions make some techniques difficult to perform
Results dont take into account ID

Question 7

Name three uses of force plates

Answer 7

Fast and accurate esults generated
Analysis of gait and take off/ landing technique
Results useful to plan conditioning programmes

Question 8

Name two downfalls of force plates

Answer 8

Equipment is expensive
Lab conditions difficult to replicate technique
