Document Summary

Constraints: anything limiting can be human or event. Closed skill: predictable environment for example a free throw, you are using biomechanical principles. Continuous: can be broken down into discrete but as a whole doesn"t have a definite begging or end. Opo: is the goal of a movement, for example getting as high up as you can. Biomechanical principles: factors affecting muscle forces (length tension relationship between muscles) momentum, radius of body parts, kinetic link being used, lift and drag forces, angle of projection/attack/attitude, rebound and spin of an object, methods of initiating body rotation. Analysis process: 1. divide into discrete parts 2. mechanical purpose of each part (each parts opo) 3. biomechanical factors (acceleration, radius ect. ) 4. biomechanical principles to achieve bp 5. critical features necessary for movements of specific skill. Force arm: needs to be not inline with c of g because then you will not create any torque on the body.
