2 Balance! Balance is the ability to control the body's position either staying still for example a hand stand or while moving for example gymnastics will need a lot of balance. You will use balance in basketball because when you do a smash hit you jump up and score but you will need to have balance because other wise you will fall mid air. Kobe Bryant would need balance for when he scores so he doesn't fall over. If you had poor balance you would constantly be doing poor foot work and the other players will get the ball. Also you would be tripping over when trying to get the ball off the other players.

3 Power! Power is a combination of strength and speed you use speed in basketball to get the ball off the other players and be in the right place at the right time. You need strength in basketball to jump up and do a smash shot you would need the strength in your legs. Dwight Howard would need power because he plays in the centre and he would need strength to be able to pass the ball to the other players. If you did not have enough speed then you would not be able to be in the right place at the right time and the other players will get the ball. If you did not have enough strength then you wont have the strength to pass long distance.

4 Reaction time! Reaction time is how fast a person can respond to a stimulus. This can be used in basketball because you will need good reaction time to catch the ball when some one passes it to you. If you don’t have good reaction time in basketball, then you wont be able to catch the ball as easily, and at the beginning when the referee throws the ball up in the air between two players and you aren't alert then the other team will start off with the ball, this could lose you some pionts.Tim Duncan would need good reaction time because he plays in defence so he would have to be ready to defend his goal from the other team.

5 Co-Ordination! Coordination is the ability to repeatedly execute a sequence of movements smoothly and accurately. This may involve the senses, muscular contractions and joint movements. This can be used in basketball so you can co-ordinate when to catch the ball, and to dribble while running this would be called hand and eye co-ordination; if you didn’t have this in basket ball then you wouldn’t be able to get the ball down to the net as quickly as the other team. So, this could stop you from scoring because if you cant dribble and run at the same time and you are constantly throwing the ball which means other team is going to get the ball. Javelin McGee has good co-ordination because he is able to jump in the air to defend a goal and puts it all together so therefore he uses a lot of hand, eye and feet co-ordination.

6 Agility!! Agility is when you are able to change direction quickly. You will need this in Basket ball to get the ball and dribble the opposite way towards your goal. If you don’t have good agility then you could lose your team the game because you wont be able to change direction quickly to get the ball off the players or if your team member needs you quickly in a position and you cant get there in time because you aren't able to change direction as quick. Kyrie Irving has good agility because he is able to change direction quickly to get the ball away from the other team.

Balance and stability

Balance and stabilityDan Jackson2018-10-20T11:17:54+10:00

Balance and stability are separate concepts that are highly related. Balance is a person’s ability to control their equilibrium in relation to gravity only, whereas stability is your bodies ability to “return to a desired position or trajectory following a disturbance [to equilibrium].”[1] Equilibrium is a state of no acceleration and can be static (without movement) or dynamic (moving at a constant velocity). Therefore, balance can be both static or dynamic, depending on whether the body is moving or not, but it must not have acceleration occurring.

If acceleration is occurring we are talking about stability, as our body needs to respond to the acceleration (whether the force is internal, from our own body, or external, from outside our body) and return to a desired position or trajectory. This could be as simple as changing direction, or as complex as completing a vault or responding to an attempted tackle from an opponent.

There are many processes involved in maintaining balance and stability in sport, and athlete’s who have to respond to a disturbance will often shift their body to better enable them to return to their desired position or trajectory. For example, when two forwards in rugby collide, they will often lower their body and spread their feet wider before contact in order to better enable them to remain stable.

The Preliminary PDHPE syllabus has three dash points for balance and stability, each of which influences the body’s ability to remain stable. The syllabus states:

Students learn about:

• balance and stability
  • centre of gravity
  • line of gravity
  • base of support

Students learn to:

• apply principles of balance and stability to enhance performance through participation in practical workshops

Practice Exam Questions

Describe the relationship between line of gravity and base of support during a static balance pose in gymnastics. 3 marks

Explain how widening your base of support just before contact with an opposing player makes an athlete more stable. 5 marks

Analyse how an athlete in a specific sport might enhance their balance and stability. 8 marks
