world record for hammer throwing. The statement that “The current men’s hammer throw world record will never be broken” is thus false as it is possible to beat the record if certain factors are achieved. Two key factors need to be achieved in order to break the current world record these are the optimal launch angle of 42o must be maintained and the initial velocity of launch must be greater than 29.22m/s. This can be done if the tension (centripetal force) the athlete has on the hammer is greater than
When Thor throws his hammer, he is "serving justice" When I throw a hammer I Have anger management issues because I hate the hammer throw. (but I might serve a knock to the head) It shouldn't be in the Olympics. I'm going to persuade you by this evidence (dumb some of them): You're probably thinking “hammer throw. What are you talking about?”. Well, that's another reason to take it out of the Olympics. Because you don't know what it is. Maybe I should tell you-you swing a hammer throw the thing
Did you know that wrestling was one of the first sports that ever existed to mankind? I believe that wrestling is one of the best sports to help you with everyday life and, getting you healthy. Wrestling gets kids physically and, mentally fit and healthy, teaches them how to manage their time during wrestling, and gives them an opportunity to make new friends. The first reason that kids should consider joining wrestling is that they will feel healthy and become physically and mentally fit. Wrestling
higher and higher into the air. I can also see the massive "river" of hogs awaiting their turn to be chained up by the burly Negro. Another scene that is easy to describe is the scene where the "knockers" struck the cows on the head with a sledge hammer. In this scene all I can imagine is worn out man who has swung a sledge all day. This man would have to be worn out in a couple of years due to the physical demand. The next scene im going to describe is the scene in the steaming room. This is probably
The weaponry during the Elizabethan period was the most advance weaponry known to the world. The most common weapons used were crossbows, longbows, war hammers, spears, early forms of pistol and cannons. With all this weaponry Europeans also needed armor, like chainmail and plate armor. Different types of weapons and the different kinds of armor were a key component to warfare during the Elizabethan period, in Europe. Long distance weapons were essential to European combat. The main long distance
What are the attributes of a hard-boiled detective? Apart from his "uniform", including a hat, a gun and a tough attitude, he smokes and drinks. A lot. Mike Hammer, the hero of Mickey Spillane, is the embodiment of this concept. At least in his third novel, Vengeance is Mine, published in 1950. The reader will have a hard time if he decides to start searching for a page without a line referring to smoking. This might seem odd for us living in 2011 when we hear all the time that cigarette is lethal
It 's the day before my last high school varsity basketball game as a senior… Wow four years went by this fast who would have imagined this day would have came. All day I was thinking about the season ending. This game meant everything to me, it wasn 't any ordinary game. It 's a section game! Win or go home.. With it being my last high school game I wanted to close the chapter knowing I gave it my all. Practice was probably the most intense it 's ever been for me. Emotions were flaring and we were
popular sport among all ages. Dr. James A. Naismith was born in Canada but invented the game of basketball in the United States. He invented basketball by using a rectangular backboard that is 6feet wide and 4feet high. The court includes a free throw line that is 12feet long. A regulated court should be around 94feet long and 50feet wide. For all pro, college, and high school games the goal must at least be up 10feet high. To decide who gets to get the ball first, each team must have one player
basketball games are decided on whether a team will win or lose by how well they perform at the free throw line. A free throw is the only time where the game is being play and the clock is stopped, players stop, and the ball is in an individual’s hand, with them and the basket. Since there are no defenders trying to block or alter their shot most coaches and spectators wonder what makes someone miss a free throw. Research literature shows that both psychological and physical factors play a role. Many athletes
Skill retention is a motor memory process that is achieved through a number of practice sessions. The process is dependent on a number of variables that happen throughout the acquisition of the skill. In early stages of life, a child will be presented with the challenge of completing several motor tasks vital to daily life. For example, acquiring the motor skill to write ones name is an intricate task. The child must first acquire the necessary skill to perform this task effectively (sounds like
team is assigned a goal to defend. However, at halftime, the teams switch goals. When a team makes a basket, they score two points. If a team makes a basket outside or on the three-point line are, then that basket is worth three points, while a free throw is worth one
Introduction In 1998, the average NFL coaches averaged $134,000 (Weir, 2005). The average player salary was approximately $1.1 million dollars. Money was not a major contributor to whether coaches and athletes ethically played the game. Teams would compete to win the game with integrity. Nothing was worth winning, if it could not be done in a manner which brought positive publicity to a coach, player, or team. The average NFL salary for a head coach this past season was $3.25 million dollars, with
For my science fair project, I will be testing how high a basketball bounces on five different surfaces including: hardwood, concrete, asphalt, rubber, and carpet. I will now talk about the background information of this science fair project and the process and steps of this science fair project. I will first talk about the background information and research behind this project, then I will talk about the steps and process of the project. First, I will talk about the background information
The History of the pentathlon The history of the pentathlon stems from the complete physical training of the Greeks. The pentathlete was the product of training in five events, unlike those athletes who were trained in specialized areas. It began as an athletic competition to determine the best all-around athlete. The pentathlon was introduced into the Olympic Games around 708 B.C. Each pentathlete was superior in strength and activity, which was the ideal physical beauty. The ideal pentathlete
The Discobolus is one of the most recognisable and influential artistic pieces to emerge from Ancient Greece. The Discobolus was a bronze sculptured depicting an athlete throwing a discus and was created by prolific Greek artist Myron of Eleutherae (Harris & Zucker 2012). Although a precise date of creation is unknown, it is widely theorised that the sculpture was created between 450 and 460 BCE (Harris & Zucker 2012). Myron’s original Discobolus no longer exists, with evidence indicating that it
“If athletes could think any way they wanted and still play their best game, winning would be determined by skill and effort alone.” (Valiante & Stachura, 2005) It can be a head scratcher to see an athlete go from near perfection, to looking as if he or she has never played a game in their career. Take your everyday baseball pitcher for instance. He can go from being un-hittable, too not being able to hit the strike zone. How often do you see a golfer play three amazing days, but when reality sets
to shoot 3 pointers so I would get better at basketball. I practice because I want to be on the basketball team at Northglenn High School. I want to be better because I used to be bad at this game. I know how to dribble a basketball, shoot free throws, and juke people. When I feel rushed, I step back and just shoot the 3 pointer for more points. I don´t make them but I am learning and I will soon. The experts say to put your leg steady. When you jump to shoot the ball you should land in the

Harrison Bergeron is a short story set in 2081 in dystopian America. Communism has finally taken over, as everyone is now completely and entirely equal. Not only are people equal in race, and in gender, they are equal in every way. “Everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else,”, as it states in the first
Each person has different characteristics about them that give them their own identity and that should not be changed. In the story “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut, the main character, Harrison Bergeron is known as a threat to society. He is very intelligent, handsome, and athletic. In 2081, every person in the United States is equal.
