DESCRIPTION
The Stage 2 PE class has just completed their biomechanics practical for their course. This practical involved the use of various sized and weighted balls being thrown under a number of different conditions with the results recorded. Each of the balls had to be thrown at a 45 degree angle, the ultimate angle of projection. To ensure that each ball was treated the same we used a hula‐hoop to do this. Miss Mason

Yr 12 Physical Education – Biomechanics Practical
The Stage 2 PE class has just completed their biomechanics practical for their course. This practical involved the use of various sized and weighted balls being thrown under a number of different conditions with the results recorded. Each of the balls had to be thrown at a 45 degree angle, the ultimate angle of projection. To ensure that each ball was treated the same we used a hula‐hoop to do this.
The balls were also thrown using the same shoulder movement (over arm throw). Each ball was tested under conditions that involved the use of a different number of body parts, starting with the least number moving to the most or from a sitting position to a standing and stepping into the throw position.
The aim was to teach the students about summation of force or that adding more body parts meant more power! We were doing our best in the windy condition over a 4 hr period but managed some fabulous results! Well done Yr 12, I look forward to reading the subsequent write up and viewing the results.
