Standing Long Jump Lab Report

932 Words4 Pages

The purpose of this lab report is to examine a biomechanical endeavor; for the purpose of this lab it was a person performing a standing long jump, to analyze the horizontal and vertical components of position and velocity versus time and the time spent performing the jump. The jump was analyzed using still shots from a video of a male performing a standing long jump. Because photos were used to analyze the jump, adjustments had to be made to convert the measurements to real size. To do this, a calibration factor (CF) is used. CF=(Real length of calibration stick)/(Projected Length of calibration stick). The CF is used to convert distances measured in millimeters on the projected image to real-life distance in meters, or in the case of this lab, pixels to meters. The equation for velocity is change in displacement/change in time. Therefore, the time of each frame must be found. Seconds per frame is found by the equation, tf= 1/frames per second. Then this number can be multiplied by the amount of frames to give the time. My hypothesis was that the horizontal position component would get closer to the origin when the subject is jumping toward the origin, and the vertical position component would would be a bell curve. My hyposthesis for velocity would be that the horizontal component would be constant and the vertical component would increase as the subject jumps and …show more content…

The results show in figure 2 that the velocity in the horizontal direction remained negative throughout the jump and rapidly decreased at first, raised, and then decreased again. The velocity in the vertical direction rapidly increases as a positive velocity, decreases into a negative velocity, and then increases again but still in a negative velocity. The figures and tables are attached.

For this examination, the continued context of a simulation will be used. In function one, the relevant domain is from 0 seconds to approximately 2.165 seconds. Negative values in the context of a projectile make no sense, as it suggests negative time. Going beyond 2.165 seconds is also nonsensical, as it suggests the projectile is driving into the ground.

Analysis - To initially get the position vs time graph, the whiteboard ramped was marked every half meter and four time trials were done going to every mark. the times were then averaged and plotted on a graph. With each average time a velocity was calculated by distance/time and those were averaged to find the velocity (because the buggy was a constant speed there is only need for one velocity). With this, it turned out the slope of the position time graph was the velocity. If there was a non constant velocity, the derivative of the position time graph would yield the velocity for the specific time.

Future Experimenters might test throwing the ball at different speeds through the football passing machine. This may show something that could not be seen in the data from this experiment. In addition to receiving different data and statistics, experimenters may find outliers and anomalies that were not found in this set of data. Only testing at the one speed on the football passing machine may have hid statistical curves that could only be seen by changing the speed of the machine. By testing different speeds, it may show that normal regulation football will not actually travel the farthest.

The experiment overall was nicely conducted, and results were found through the information gathered. The dependent variable was established very quickly; furthermore, we can find the dependent variable was whether the athletes played a contact sport or a sport like baseball, where most concussions come from being hit by the ball. The independent variable is the number of concussions the test subjects obtained. Ultimately they could not control how many concussions each individual obtained but they controlled which individuals were chosen and what test were ran. The results that ran throughout the whole experiment was an overall success, the results show that multiple compared to single occurring concussions do not have an effect on P3 suppression.

Slope formula is Y2-Y1/X2-X1. This means that any two points picked, once subtracted and divided will give us the velocity units. It can also be concluded that x = vt +x0 is the equation of motion for a constant velocity. This is true because the equation was derived from the x vs. t graph that was linear. y

Then it changes when it starts going down. Then when going down the velocity changes and does something different. my conclusion is when the ball is going up there is two ways of velocity. Then when it gets to the top it turn equals, after that when it is going down it changes the way of velocity when it was going

The kinematic chain is a specific sequence of joint movements from the most central to the most peripheral axis in order to increase the rapid movement of hands, feet, or handheld equipment (Lawler 2018). In order to maximize performance and decrease the risk of injury, optimal activation of every link in the kinetic chain is essential (Elliot, 2006). Understanding the influences that anatomical structures and movements have on velocity are critical in improving sport performance. If a difference in performance is seen between two individuals, a video analysis can be conducted to determine if one player is not engaging in the optimal range of movement around a joint. Video analysis can also identify if the exercise equipment in use is advantageous or not.

The little girl I chose to observe was just over one and half. I did my observation at the Goodlife Fitness Jump program on Tuesday, October, 20, 2015. Around 6:15 her mother brought her in and sat her down at the picnic table with her snacks. I started paying extra attention to her because she was eating her gummies quickly. I’d noticed that she had put two in her mouth

Therefore, if we find the time it takes for the basketball to reach its maximum height and multiply it by 2, it will give us the total time of the ball in the air. At the top of its path the velocity of the ball in the y-direction is 0 m/s , therefore starting from the top of its path falling downwards its initial velocity will be 0 m/s Therefore the time it takes for the ball from its peak to reach the ground

Work is when a force is applied to an object moves that object, for example, rolling the marble down the ramp (Andrew Rader Studios, 1997). The velocity of an object can be calculated through the formula v = d/t, or velocity = distance/time. Velocity is the rate at which an object changes its position (the Physics Classroom , 1996). Another important component is acceleration, the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity (the Physics Classroom, 1996).

I could see the patient’s face contort in pain as the nurse jabbed a needle into his upper right arm. The nurse quickly pulled the needle out, muttering under his breath that the patient was too dehydrated to have good veins, and moved to swab another portion of the arm to draw blood. Though it was only my third day as a volunteer at Dallas Medical Center, the sight of healthcare professionals struggling with routine procedures had become commonplace. I had taken on the position in order to explore my interest in the biological sciences from a medical perspective. In doing so, I found that human eyes could not provide the needed clarity to help address routine patient needs.

Even though the velocity of the limb extension part of the swing phase was still defective in both groups at week 10 after SCI, but it was gradually improved since week 5 in trained group. In trained group, the averaged velocity of the whole swing phase returned to similar value to the baseline since week 3 after SCI and it completely gained back at week 10 after SCI. Moreover, the enhancement of swing phase component relationship of treadmill training was shown from this study. The relationship between a parameter or dependent variable which was swing phase duration and its constituents or independent variables which were swing phase height, length, and velocity was explored by the polynomial multiple regressions in trained, untrained and normal rats at week 10 after SCI. The correlation of the normal rats was equivalent to 0.93 which showed the reliability to predict the swing duration by the swing phase height, length, and velocity.

All testing was conducted indoors. 20metres was measured and at 0 metres and 20metres a timing gate was located. The subjects stood at the start and on their own accord accelerated into a sprint. Sprint times were recorded of the hand held power timer device. Once the subject completed the sprint he was timed to allow 30 seconds of recovery either 1.
