Difference of the Backhand Swing Skill of Collegiate Male Athletes and Collegiate Female Athletes

Abstract

The purpose of our study is to compare the backhand swing skill of collegiate male athletes and collegiate female athletes. This comparative study uses a sample of 2 athletes, male and female, who were selected to execute the backhand swing skill commonly used by lawn tennis players. The instrument used in the study is a video analysis of the sample's backhand swing skill form. It will be used by the researchers to determine which muscle groups are primary movers and which muscles are not being used by a specific sample. The study aims to help figure out how to improve the skill of backhand swing in collegiate athletes. …show more content…

Tennis is very demanding on your body. It requires a well-trained muscular system for strength, power, endurance and speed. Whether you play tennis for recreation, in local tournaments or on the professional tour, just about every muscle in your body is engaged, some
The tennis backhand is the one of the least tennis strokes, it is weaker than the other which is forehand. The technique for this must be improved through positive repetition. The proper backhand technique will allow a player to improve their power and ability to generate topspin. Tennis backhand technique is one of the main shots in tennis. The backhand shot is used in baseline rallies and in approach shots. There are two different strokes in the backhand, one is the two handed backhand and the other on is the one handed backhand.

Phases: 1. Opening (Also known as the Backswing)
This is the initial part of the movement, which begins when you bring your racquet behind your body. It ends when you start moving your racquet forward

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the netball-training program for a goal shooter will be undertaken by assessing its application of training principles, which are frequency, intensity, specificity and progressive overload. Furthermore, a recommendation will be made to improve its effectiveness to enable the best results for a goal shooter position in netball. Frequency is defined as the number of times an event occurs within a certain period. Both types of training, aerobic and anaerobic are implemented in the training program. Having the correct amount of training time for the different types of training is important to ensure that the goal shooter benefits from the exercise and improves the needed fitness components.

Three training methods that benefit a netballer are fartlek, circuit training and interval training. Fartlek would be used for a netballer because it combines continuous and interval which combines a range of training speeds and intensities. A netballer needs this because it helps develop aerobic power. For the activity below you jog to the first line and then sprint back, you do the same for the next 3 lines but for the last line you sprint all the way to other base line and sprint all the way back and when complete take a 30 sec rest and then start again. Circuit training would be used for a netballer because it is a very good way of developing and improving their fitness and it also combines both continuous and resistance training.

One of the biggest components in one’s golf swing is controlling the balance in one’s swing. Creating a balanced golf swing will result in a more efficient swing and possibly result in straighter golf shots. In order for the body to flow throughout the golf swing the bodies motor skills need to be in sync. Exercising reduces the limitations one has on their bodies. Golfers should use their bodies to control their golf swings, but many people cannot do that because of their physical limitations.

The role of biomechanics plays in assisting a person to improve their technique in sport, specifically Golf. Biomechanics specifically particularly assists athletes to significantly improve their performance. Principles are applied to the action that is trying attempting to be improved. Ways in which you can take advantage of techniques or technology to improve the efficiency or effectiveness of the motion is examined. This type of biomechanics in often referred to as kinetics as opposed to kinematics, which refers to describing motion.

In order to provide the golfer the opportunity to execute the biomechanics of the golf swing efficiently and meet the requirements of the body swing connection, professionals within industry suggest the implementation of a golf specific strength and conditioning program. All to often the amateur golfer will implement a general fitness program in an attempt to develop the physical requirements needed for the swing. The results are less than optimal from such a program because it does not address the specific requirements of the body in terms of mobility, flexibility, stability, strength, and power relative to the sport of golf. What the amateur golfer must understand relative to fitness training and golf, is in order for improvements to occur in the biomechanics of the golf swing, not only must the amateur golfer develop the underlying physical requirements of the swing, these requirements need to do be developed specifically to the positions, movement patterns, and physical requirements of the swing. This results in what is termed a transfer of training effect from the conditioning program to the actual performance benefits on the golf

In James Fallows’ essay “Throwing like a girl” he insinuates that phrases such as “throwing like a girl” have led to the stereotypes that doing things like a girl implies that something is done wrong or is inferior. Fallows’ argues that pitching a ball is a learned skill, due to social conditioning females are less likely to have been given the opportunity to learn despite capabilities. Though many may believe the differences in a male and females' ability to throw is in their anatomy of the shoulder, Fallows argues that there is no documented proof of a physical distinction between genders, he also points out that there are many female professional athletes who could throw faster and harder than the average male. Without there being a physical

Part I: Administrative Agencies: Their Structure and Powers Congress authorizes these agencies to make rules to deal with problems they don't want to deal with. Congress ultimately doesn't want to make hard decisions because the negative effects opposition to these decisions cause; and these agencies may develop and implement the most intrusive or controversial policies. Regulations are put in place to create protection for people and for the world that we live in. These regulations regulate “virtually every aspect of modern business life, including the natural environment, corporate finance, transportation, telecommunications, energy, labor relations, and trade practices.” This will protect us from things like monopolies; and will allow

When you play tough matches that last about two hours or more every part of you is tested. Being in tennis you have to shake your opponent 's hand win or lose. Tennis has taught me how to control my anger and to always be the better person. I learn how to respect my coaches because all they do is try to help us improve mentally and emotionally. Also, I understand that not everyone one is taught to have good sportsmanship, but one of us have to be respectable.

The golf swing takes in total of 17 muscle groups in the coordinated movement of hands, wrists, arms, abdomen, and legs according to the study in the BMJ (British Medical Journal). Playing golf on a professional level requires ability to be able to walk long distances (on average 4.5 miles) and hit the ball long and straight with consistency. Golf’s demand for physical use often results in injuries. Since golf demands so much physical movements up to 62 percent of amateur golfers and approximately 88 percent of professional golfers end up with injuries each year. Playing golf can lead to injuries in the lower back, wrist, hand, shoulder, or head.
