Simple Mechanics of Motion
Mechanics is the area
concerned with the motion of physical objects. Forces applied to objects result
in displacement or changes of an object position relative to its environment.
Mechanics may be divided into three branches:
1.
Statics: It deals with forces acting on
and in a body at rest.
2.
Kinematics: It describes the possible
motion of a body or system of bodies
3.Kinetics: This attempt to explain or predict the motion that will occur in a given situation
Principles of lever system
The lever is a simple machine that changes the magnitude and detection of the force applied to
move an object. It minimizes the effort required to lift the object. A lever is
a rigid bar that moves around a supporting point (pivot or fulcrum). The
object to be lifted is placed on the bar.
Gravity: It is a
universal force of attraction acting between all matter
Velocity is the speed at which something moves in one direction.
Balance: This is
a situation in which different elements are equal or in correct proportion
Application of Mechanics to Game Situation
A game mechanics
are the rules and procedures that guide the player and the game response to the
player’s moves or actions.
1.
It
helps in reducing or minimizing the risk of injury.
2.
It
improved sport performances
3.
It
helps analysis and assessment of human movement during sport activities
4.
It
helps to describe motion or movement and how forces is created
5.
It
helps in describing how and why human body moves in the way it does
6.
It
helps to consider the interaction between the performer, equipment and environment
7.
It
improves muscular skill
8.
It
improves physiological capacities and psychological or cognitive abilities
9.
It
helps in the identification of optimal technique for enhancing sports performances
10.The analysis of body loading to determine the safest method for performing a particular sport or exercise task
Assignment
