Follow Through Phase

In the follow through phase I still need to contract certain segments. To make sure my shot is effective I need to contract smaller muscles in my arms. I can see from my execution phase that I am using my larger muscles first then my smaller muscles last.

While in the follow through phase the joints that are being used are my Shoulder joint and my Elbow joints. While moving from the execution phase to the follow through phase both my shoulder and elbow joints are working. The shoulder joint is extending, the agonist muscle contracting to make this movement is latissimus dorsi and the antagonist muscle relaxing in this movement is the Pectoralis Major. The elbow joint is continued to extend the agonist muscle contracting to make this movement is the Triceps and the antagonist muscle relaxing in this movement is the Biceps. The differences/Similarities I can see in my joints and the ideal are my hands are too close to each other and my arms are too far out.

In the following phase I am using Newtons Third law. Newtons Third law states  whenever a force is applied there is an equal and opposite reaction, because when I apply more force to my legs it goes right through my body and into the ball. The more force I produce in my body the further the ball's is going to be shot.

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 my balance is equal. I know I'm balanced because my centre of gravity is inside my body. The differences I can see in my balance and stability is my knees are flexing when they shouldn't be extended which means my balance isn't stabled as the ideal.

Execution Phase

In the execution phase I still 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 of contracting my larger muscles first through to my smaller muscles. I can see from my picture that I'm producing force because my knees and hips are extending. Also, I need to make sure the timing is correct in my sequence. This means that my joints need to contract one after the other.

While in the execution phase the joints that are being used are Hip joint, Knee joint and Ankle joint. While moving from the preparation phase to the execution phase these joint movements are changing. The knee joint is extending. The agonist muscle contracting to make this movement is Quadriceps and the antagonist muscle relaxing in this movement is my hamstrings. The hip joint is extending. The agonist muscle is my Gluteus Maximus and the antagonist muscle relaxing in this movement is my Quadriceps. The Ankle joint is plantarflexing. The agonist muscle contracting to make this movement is Gastrocnemius. The antagonist muscle relaxing to make this movement is Tibialus. The differences/similarities I can see in my joints and the ideal are both our legs are extending and so is our arms.

In the execution phase I am using Newton's 2nd law. Newtons 2nd law states in the direction of the force being applied, and will accelerate at a rate depending upon the greater force will move an object faster than a smaller force. I can see that by bending my legs I am creating force to be able to accelerate the ball towards the hoop. The greater the force produced in my body the greater the acceleration I put into my shot.

In the execution phase balance and stability is important to produce a well coordinated shot. To be balanced my centre of gravity has to be at the point about which the distribution of these individual weights is symmetrical is the centre of gravity of the body, in other words is being balanced. Also I know I am balanced because I can see my centre of gravity is in the centre of my body which means im stabled and balance. I can see that my stance is similar to the Ideal because He's tip toeing and so am I also because both our hands are in the air.

Log Six: Turbo Touch

On Tuesday during the game Turbo touch the two factors that influenced my participation was fun and enjoyment and Sense of achievement.

Fun and enjoyment influenced my participation because I communicated

with my team in a positive way, I was figuring out solutions so my team

would have fun. In the end they had fun and It was a game to remember.

Sense of achievement influenced my participation because when we lost the

first time I could read the other teams plays which made it easier for my team

to win, when we jumped on I told my team to man up and mark their

partners to make it harder for the other team to get away from us.

Log Five: Modified Touch

Last week Friday during the game of Modified touch the two factors that

influenced my participation is pushing my body to physical limits, being

able to go at my own pace.

Pushing my body to physical limits influenced my participation, I was

getting tired to a point where I wanted to give up but my team kept me

going because they needed me. Knowing that my team needs me , I push my body to further limits.

Being able to go at my own pace influenced my participation, the game was going to fast and as soon as I got the ball I slowed down the game down by jogging. By slowing the game down it made the game more enjoyable.

Log Four: King Dodge ball

Last week Tuesday during the game King dodge ball the two factors that

influenced my participation is fun and enjoyment, Sense achievement.

Fun and enjoyment influenced my participation because before we started playing the game I felt like it would’ve been boring but I ended up

participating anyways, I had so much fun it brought me closer to my

classmates.

Sense of achievement influenced my participation because I was one of the

last ones standing, they tried getting me out but I ended up getting the last

person out on the other team before they got me out. I had a lot of pride out

of getting the last person out made me feel like I achieved something.

Log Three: Modified Touch

Yesterday during the game modified touch the two factors that influenced

my participation was Challenge and Sense of achievement.

It was a real challenge for me because I couldn’t find a solution to get pass

my opponents, also it was hard taking control because my team mates

weren’t listening to what I was saying, it really did make me try even harder.

Sense of achievement influenced my participation because I knew I would

get a lot of pride out of completing modified touch by coming second

instead of last. Participating through the whole thing and not giving up made me feel like I achieved something.

Log Two: Ki O Rahi

Last term on Tuesday during the game of Ki O Rahi the two factors that

influenced my participation were being able to go at my own pace, also fun

and enjoyment.

Being able to go at my own pace influenced my participation because

everyone else was moving the game abit too fast and I was getting tired so I

went at my own pace.

Fun and enjoyment influenced my participation because of the previous

experience, I’ve done it before and I love playing Ki o rahi. Running and

twisting at the same time was enjoyable about it and this game brings me

closer to my peers.

Log One: Island ball

On Tuesday during our game of Island ball the two factors that influenced

my participation were Challenge and Well-being.

Challenge influenced my participation because my opponents were

competitive which made it a good challenge for me. It was hard trying to

find a solution to get pass competitive opponents.

Well-being influenced my participation because I know if I was to

participate for a whole lesson it would build my fitness level up and I would eventually become fitter.
