Pe Part 3 Flashcards
What’s limb kinematic
The study of movements of limbs and the time taken to carry out these movements
Pros of limb kinematics
Can analyse the motion of athletes
Investigate effectiveness of techniques
Cons of using limb kinematics
Expensive equipment
The conditions are not real game conditions so it’s harder to reenact these techniques
Force plates
Force plates or platforms that measure all forces applied when they performer stand,steps across or jump on it
Cons of force plates
Can be expensive
Conditions are not real game conditions harder to perform
Pros of force plates
Accurate and fast results recorded
Results can be used to help plan training programmes
What’s a wind tunnel
A chamber at which air is forced
Cons of wind tunnel
Equipment is expensive
Can’t completely mimic game situation vary
Pros of wind tunnel
Wind speed can be maximised
Can analyse new techniques
