Document Summary

Chapter 2 biomechanics: angular position, velocity and acceleration. Transverse: upper/lower cuts body in half at mid section. Longitudinal: axis from head to feet ie. pirouette. Medial-lateral: axis that runs medial to lateral ie. somersault. Anterior-posterior: axis that runs front (anterior) to back (posterior) ie. cartwheel. Proximal: (proximal for the trunk is the hip) Distal: (distal for the trunk is the head) Angular velocity: the rate of change in the angle of the thrower/person. Angular velocity is expressed in radian per second. First divide the degrees (ie. 60 degrees) by 57. 5 radians to nd out how many radians. Radians are a measurement of angles and they are a system international (si) unit. The only force acting in tangential velocity is a pull towards the centre (ie. string) When you let go of the string, there is no more force pulling towards the centre, so it will travel in a straight line.
