Volleyball and the Body When I was in middle school‚ I had decided to play volleyball for some good exercise. I thought how hard it could be to hit a ball back and forth and not let it hit your team’s side of the floor. I liked being part of a team and knowing that I was staying healthy. I enjoyed learning proper techniques because playing volleyball required it. Playing the sport definitely built up my upper arm and leg muscle and helped me make friends and communicate better as a team. I had

soccer (Lees‚ 2010). The most common type of kick in soccer is the instep. The instep of a soccer kick has interested researches in studying the biomechanics of it. Some researches “consider the kick beginning from the way a player approaches the ball to the end of ball flight‚ the point that determines the success of the kick.” This interest has gotten biomechanics thinking about the kick in terms of the supporting leg‚ the pelvis in the kicking action‚ thigh abduction‚ and knee flexion (Scurr‚ 2009).

something. Something rather important in order for us to make it to volleyball on time or to leave in general‚ my car keys. As we are foraging‚ none of the workers really giving a care‚ my mom freaking out on the phone‚ “Blake you really need to learn how to keep up with things better. You need to keep looking. I really hope your car does not get stolen!” she scolds at me through the phone. At this point it is 6:40ish and of course volleyball was supposed to start at 7. So here is how the story went.

Beach Volleyball Beach Volleyball has been played for many years‚ and organizations such as the California Beach Volleyball Association have helped in furthering the sport. Beach Volleyball is now available to everyone and it is even played in the Olympics. In the early twenty ’s‚ " in Santa Monica‚ California‚ the first Volleyball courts were put up on the beach at the Playground [in Santa Monica]" ("History of Beach Volleyball"). Most games consisted of families playing six on six ("History

Court Volleyball vs. Beach Volleyball Although volleyball may seem like the same sport whether it’s played on an indoor volleyball court or an outdoor sand volleyball court‚ there is actually a big difference between the two. Some people prefer sand volleyball over court volleyball‚ but I prefer court volleyball. Both courts are the same size (18m x 9m (29’6" x 59’)). When it comes to having all of the positions covered‚ court volleyball is superior; with six people on the court‚ it is much

Physics of Volleyball Physics is the study of energy and how it is transferred from one particle to another. There is certainly a lot of energy transferred between objects and players in the sport of volleyball. A few of the concepts of physics that take place during volleyball include gravity‚ displacement‚ velocity‚ acceleration‚ projectile motion‚ and force. These concepts are displayed throughout the different positions on the court. There are three main aspects of volleyball that include

For me‚ I am someone who plays volleyball because I feel like in certain ways I am obligated to playing. If I were to quit volleyball I would literally do nothing with my life. This sport is very much time consuming and without it‚ I’d probably be a fat potato that does not extracurricular activities or hobbies what so ever. Hopefully‚ by the end of this project‚ I am able to find other things that I am interested in than just volleyball. When deciding what I wanted to do for my project I had no

Triple Jump Biomechanics Triple Jump it is where an athlete sprints down a track‚ takes off at the board on one leg‚ hops‚ then again on the same leg before stepping onto the opposite leg and jumping into a pit of sand. This is called “hop‚ step and jump”. To be successful the athlete must be a fast sprinter with strong Gluteus‚ Hamstring‚ Iliopsoas‚ Quadriceps and Vastus muscle groups and core muscles: transverse and rectus abdominus‚ obliques and latissimus dorsi. They must also have the

Lower Extremity Biomechanics During the Landing of a Stop-Jump Task The purpose of this journal article was to compare the kinematics of the lower body to the force that occurs during a stop-jump motion‚ the motion when an individual stops quickly and then jumps vertically. This motion can be seen below in Figure 1. The article found that large hip and knee flexion angles and initial foot contact with the ground do not have an effect on the impact forces during the landing of the jump. However
