The world of sport is continually changing over the years‚ and the use of technology is just one of those areas that has made an impact on many sports in the modern day. One criticism of the use of technology is that it can slow down the speed of the game‚ but on the other hand for many people it makes watching it more enjoyable to see the correct decisions being made.

Introduction A lot of research has been conducted on the physical force naturally involved and the biomechanics that are involved when one is shooting a basket ball. There are positions that work out the best result during the shooting time. They work best due to the force exerted and the angle and tactic used. All these concepts rely on the physical positions and energy exertion areas that are employed. From mid range to long range activities in basketball shooting‚ there are six major points

Reflexology requires specific knowledge of the feet and legs‚ including the biomechanics of movement in these extremities. The techniques and the specific procedures of reflexology are as complex and wonderful as massage‚ yet they are entirely different. Benefits The most obvious effect of reflexology massage is stress reduction

The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway on the palm side of your wrist made up of bones and ligaments. The nerve that controls sensation and movement in the thumb and first three fingers‚ runs through this passageway along with tendons to the fingers and thumb. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a median entrapment neuropathy that causes paresthesia‚ pain‚ numbness‚ and other symptoms in the distribution of the median nerve due to its compression at the wrist in the carpal tunnel. The median nerve

Introduction: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important stabilizer of the tibiofemoral joint. The ACL has a proximal attachment on the posteromedial portion of the lateral condyle of the femur and creates an anterior medial vector to reach its distal attachment at the anteromedial tibia. The anteromedial vector the ACL makes allows it to prevent primarily anterior translation of the tibia on the femur and secondarily tibial rotation subluxation on the femur and both valgus and varus forces
