Javelin Throwing Assessment
The skill I have just seen was a Javelin Throw in/at………..and the
conditions were…………
What was the outcome?
The outcome was that the javelin……………..
What level is the performer at?
The performer looks to be at a Performance level in relation to the
performance pyramid - This is where participants are committed to
their activity and take part in formal competitions. They are keen to
improve and reach goals and targets and they do this by receiving
coaching. E.g. Higher athletics clubs and Regional Squads like North
West Squad. I can judge this by how Aesthetic the skill looks and the
outcome of the distance thrown.
Strengths & Why
The performer is maintaining a straight body position with the
javelin. This enables the performer to use their entire upper part of
the body to launch the javelin with the right arm and through the
point.
Keeping the right elbow high and bringing the javelin through at a
speed. This makes sure that the tip of the javelin lands first. This
also helps with following through the point.
Following through the point allows all of the force to travel towards
the point from the handle, therefore maximum distance is achieved. If
the performer did not throw through the point, the distance of throw
would have reduced and the tail may land first causing a foul.
The speed of the run up is at a moderate pace which means that the
performer is not rushing, which may lead to faults in technique, and
also not too slow, so that there is momentum for the throw.
The performers left arm is being put to good use as a way of balance.
Without the left arm being placed out towards the throwing direction
helps the body maintain a straight position.
Weaknesses & Why
The speed of the Initial throwing arm appeared to be slow. This could
be a result of a lack of Explosive Strength.
* In case you are curious, the engine rpm got up to about 7000 rpm and the track speed got up to about 60 mph or more during this clip. I supported the track with a stand and ran the throttle while an observer ran the camera.
The ammeter dancer has semi-flexed elbows while the professional dancer are further away from their body and their elbows are more extended. The arms should of the dancer should look like they are holding a beach ball. With the professional dancers arm being further away from their body it means that they have a great moment of inertia.
What’s 10th? It’s moving from start to finish in 4 minutes 37 seconds, while others took anywhere from 4 minutes 29 seconds to 6 minutes 2 second. It’s qualifying.

Results: The experiments required the starting, ending, and total times of each run number. To keep the units for time similar, seconds were used. An example of how to convert minutes to seconds is: 2 "minutes" x "60 seconds" /"1 minute" ="120" "seconds" (+ number of seconds past the minute mark)
When you run the heart rate increases to provide muscles and other tissues. with the additional oxygen they need. The typical heart rate is 72 beats per minute. Then the snares were snares. Each beat gives out 2-3 ounces of blood pumped into the arterial.
7. If a 60-kg sprinter running at 10 m/s could convert all of her kinetic energy into upward motion, how high could she jump?
In this essay, I will give an overview of Iris Marion Young’s Throwing Like a Girl and by using the examples provided by Young, set out the main argument of her essay. Then I will explain the application of Young’s ideas with Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of embodiment followed by explaining the difference between her ideas and Simone de Beauvoir’s rejection of a “feminine essence.” Lastly, I will give reasons in favor of Young’s position. Young argues that that “throwing like a girl” has no relation to a “feminine essence” but is rather due to women’s situation of being conditioned by their actions in a patriarchal and sexist society.
Fencing is a method of personal expression and release. It is ultimatly a way of life for some. Nevertheless, this noble lifestyle is dying out. There are those who would convince others that classical fencing is a way of the past. In its place they would promote a sport that uses the same equipment and yet, is so different, that one cannot think of it in the same light. The controversy between these two poses the question "is Olympic fencing better than classical?"; A question that will require some research.

Archery, a sport that dates back to centuries before today, has been modernized to become more efficient and high tech. The Egyptian made the first complex bow in 2800 BC. The bow was made from sheep intestines and the arrow was light and efficient enough to be shot from 400 yards away and still penetrate the armor used at that time. Archery was a skill set that was prized in the military, especially in Rome. However, in 16th century a new tide was turning in Europe, firearms were slowly replacing the bow and arrow as military weapons. Other parts of the world were not as fast to leave behind archery this weapon. The people of the Far East employed archery in warfare until the 19th century, while people in Central and South Africa still use it to this day for hunting and intertribal fighting. Archery, in many parts of the world today, is viewed by some as a recreational sport and by others, as a competitive sport. Due to this, the shapes of the bow and the arrow have gone through many changes since the first model of the bow and arrow.
