Follow through phase











Follow-Through Phase 
In the follow through phase I still need to contract certain segments to make sure my shot is effective and I need to contract my smaller muscles in my arm for the shot to go well. In my picture i can see i have applied sequencing because my smaller muscles in my arms are contracting last to go for the shot.  

While in the follow through phase the joints that are being used are my shoulder and my elbows.
While moving from the execution phase to the follow through phase both my Shoulder and Elbow joints are working. The Shoulder joint is ball and socket joint. The movement in this phase is shoulder extension and the antagonist muscle relaxing to make this movement is pectoralis major and the agonist muscle contracting in this movement is my latissimus dorsi. The Elbow joint is hinge joint.  The elbow is also continuing to extend as the agonist muscle contracting to make this movement is my tricep and the antagonist muscle relaxing in this movement is bicep. The similarities I can see in my joints and the ideal is the way our elbows are both extending to go for the shot.

Newton's Laws
In the follow through phase I am using Newton's Third law. Newton's Third law states whenever a force is applied there is an equal and opposite reaction. I am applying newtons third law because i create a force from the ground in order to push off and the ground will exert an opposite force for me , pushing me into the air as i go for my shot.

Balance and Stability
In the follow through phase balance and stability is still important to producing a well executed shot. To be balanced in this phase I need to make sure two feet are planted to the ground. It is important to have balance and stability in this phase because without it i could become unstable and miss the shot. I also know i am balanced because before going for my shot, my line of gravity fell within my base of support. The similarities I can see in the ideal athlete and myself is that we are both stable because both our footing were in contact with the ground.
