Execution Phase

In the execution phase I stil need to contract as many segments as possible to generate maximum force. As well as using my lower body segments, I also need to contract my upper body muscles in my Basketball Shot. In order to generate maximum force I need to follow a sequence also still using as many segments as possible to create maximum force. I can see that I am following the principle of sequencing because i am starting my force off from my lower body muscles all the way upwards through to muscle upper body muscles. Also, I need to make sure the timing is correct in my sequence. This means that I need to make sure i am executing my body segments in the correct way.

While moving from the preparation phase to the execution phase these joint movements are changing. The Knee joint is a hinge joint. The agonist muscle contracting to make this movement is quadriceps and the antagonist muscle relaxing in this movement is my hamstring. The Hip joint is ball and socket joint. The agonist muscle contracting to make this movement is gluteus maximums and the antagonist muscle relaxing in this movement is quadriceps. The Elbow joint is hinge joint.The agonist muscle contracting to make this movement is triceps and the antagonist muscle relaxing in this movement is biceps. The differences/similarities I can see in my joints and the ideal athletes legs and his lower body muscles are bent a bit more than mine. A similarity that i notice between me and the athletes body is I released the ball by my shoulder and he made his shot over his head.

In the execution phase I am using Newton's 2nd law. Newton's second law states when a force is applied to an object, it will move in the direction of the force being applied . To create greater force i flexed my knees, then my legs muscles are then bent allowing my calves to perform flexion and my quadriceps to extend. So the more i flexed my knees whilst using my hips it created a greater force allowing me to have a stronger shot that goes further.

In the execution phase balance and stability is important to produce a well coordinated shot. To be balanced my center of gravity has to be within the inside of my body. Center of gravity is defined as the point at which all points are equally balanced. Also I know I am balanced because i have to feet still in touch with ground. The similarities I can see in my joints and the ideal is both of our legs are planted to the ground before going for the shoot. 

Preparation Phase

To generate maximum force I need to contract as many segments as possible. I know I am contracting segments in my preparation phase because my lower body muscles are working. Also I know I am following the principle of sequencing because when i bent my knees i'm contracting my bigger muscles first then up to my smaller muscles like my arms to shoot the basketball.

In the preparation phase I am contracting my lower body muscles. This means that I am using my Hips, Knees and Ankle joints in this phase. The agonist muscle contracting to make my hip flex is the quadricep and the antagonist muscle relaxing in this movement is the gluteus maximus. My ankles are in the position of dorsiflexion, the agonist muscle is my tibialis anterior and the antagonist muscle is my gastrocnemius, which is helping me to make a coordinated shot. In the preparation phase the similarities I can see in my joints and the ideal athlete is how we are both solidly stable.

In the preparation phase I am using Newton's Laws. The Newton's law that I am using in this phase is his 1st Law. Newton's 1st Law states a body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. To overcome greater inertia i am applying more force to movements and i am doing that by contracting my leg muscles and i get into a position that allows me to do so. My knees and lower body muscles are helping me to create that force. When i applied force i also noticed that as i applied that force it was going in a certain direction.

In the preparation phase balance and stability is important when performing a sporting movement. Line of gravity is defined as the line that passes through the center of gravity to the ground. Base of support is defined as the area that is in contact with the ground. The larger the contact with the ground, the greater the stability. My line gravity is located from my my belly button and going downwards through to the ground, therefore i am stable. So also i can see that i have a solid base of support because i am planted with two feet on the ground. The differences/similarities I can see in my balance and stability compared to the ideal are very similar. The only difference i notice is my knees being more bent then the ideal athlete.

log6

On Wednesday the 4th of April, i didn’t really show an

interpersonal skill because i sat out multiple times and didn’t

participate properly. I didn’t play to the best of my ability which

was a disappointment.

The interpersonal skill i didn’t show was encouraging and

supporting within my team because i did not support my class

by not bringing my p.e. Instead of encouraging and supporting

i was on the side not participating and playing on my phone.

My phone is one of my biggest distractions to be honest and

i need avoid playing on it.

It had a negative impact on me because I was doing so well

in the past few practicals, but today i just wasn’t keen to jam.

It affected me because i was behind in one practical. It also

affected my classmates because they would’ve been down a player

in a team or even feel the need that they wouldn’t have to

participate as well, which isn’t a good influence on my class.

I ultimately think that what I put into these practicals

is what I’ll get out of it.

Log5-Multisports

On Tuesday me and my group got to have a pick on what game to play for our p.e

lesson, although we had a reliever we still chose to continue with it.

In my group i worked with Setaita and Myra. The interpersonal skills i think

i showed during that lesson was inclusiveness.

I think that me and my group showed the interpersonal skill inclusiveness by

allowing our class to participate in the game we choose for them to play.

Everybody looked as though they had fun and that was a positive thing for my

group and it gave me a chance to reflect on that in my log. Whilst different team

members approached the ball, I yelled out the number of people that had to run

and that indicates how many people need to run in and participate. I made sure that

everyone in the class had a game so they felt included.

The skill i showed while playing the game multi-sports had a positive

impact on me and my team because everyone participated. By including everyone

it most likely made them feel comforted as well as them being able to enjoy the game.

Log4-Doctor Dodge

Last Friday we had our first group get up and explain their sport that they wanted

to teach us. The game was called Doctor dodge. Cj and Niko explained their game

to the class and we split into two teams. The skill that i showed was resolving conflict.

I know that i showed this skill because during the game there were a bit of issues

when we first started but we managed to pull through and solve the tiny issues we

were having . I encouraged everyone in my team by saying, “make sure theres a

person on the other side of wherever your aiming to throw the ball at, so that when

you are to throw the ball at them and if they doge it , the other person on your team is

able to catch the ball on the other side. We solved this problem by talking amongst

our team and telling each other when to run and ways on how you can avoid getting

hit by the ball.

The skill resolving conflict had a positive impact on me and my team because it

gave a chance to look at our mistakes and fix them which means we were getting along

with each other. Being an to solve the conflict and problems showed our teacher that we

are able to work together.

Log3-Kickball

Last Thursday me and the class played a competitive game of kickball.

During this game i ultimately know that i showed the interpersonal skill supporting

and encouraging others.

I know that i demonstrated this skill in the game because of the way myself and

the team played and communicated together. It was a successful game because to me

i saw that everybody was fully engaged into the game and they all were having fun.

Something i said to my team was, “stay ready, for the bowler and watch the ball”

because the bowler on the other team could bowl at anytime.

This had a good impact on my team because everybody enjoyed the lesson in our

level one p.e class, meaning that if there are more lessons like that our classes will be fun.

Although our class struggled a bit we still encouraged each other to  carry on playing and

finish the session on a positive high.

Log2-Basketball

Last Friday while participating in the game Basketball i showed the interpersonal skill
‘effective communication’.

I know that i showed this skill by talking with the team and discussing the things we
needed to slightly improve on. Getting everyone fully involved and engaged in the game
was another thing I tried my best to do, and telling our teammates to share the ball around.
Showing effective communication on Friday was quite easy for me because all i needed to
do was yell for my teammates to hear me and throw the ball my way.
I knew that we were using effective communication because everybody was responding
and fixing their tiny mistakes.

This has a positive impact on my team because everybody knew what they were doing
whilst playing the game. It also had a good impact on me because i got to communicate
with my team in different ways and we were able to get the ball to the other hoop and
shoot it in the hoop. Next time i will try to attempt showing effective communication by
helping my teammates out in anything that they are stuck on and encourage them.
Even if they aren’t stuck on anything and understand the aspects of the game i’ll still
encourage them to have fun and go hard throughout the whole game.
