Force ProductionA force is a push or pull that changes, or tends to change the shape or the state of motion of an athlete or object
Force can:
Change the direction of a moving objectChange the speed of a moving objectBalance another force to keep an object still

Forces• Internal forces
• External forces

Types of Forces
Force without motion – isometric force
Force with motion – isotonic force
Sub-maximal force
Maximal force
EDU4SBM Sports Biomechanics
7
Force without Motion• Isometric force • Isometric contraction• Muscle length does not change
Eg:

8
Force with Motion• Isotonic force• Isotonic contraction• Muscle length changes• Changes the state of motion of the object (body)
– Eg:

9
Sub-maximal Force• Force needs to be at an optimal level for successful performance
• Sometimes we want less than maximum force
– Eg:

10
Maximal Force
• Some activities require maximal force for a higher chance of success
• This usually happens through combination of a number of forces – force summation

Force Vectors
Vector - means a quantity has direction
Force vector - indicates the magnitude and direction of an applied force.
Every force vector has a horizontal and vertical component

Combination of forces to produce a maximal force
2 types– Simultaneously:
• Eg: high jump take-off, vertical jump for rebound in basketball
– Sequentially:
• Eg: throwing, striking, kicking

Sequential Force Summation
EDU4SBM Sports Biomechanics
15
Sequential force summation requires the following techniques
1. Use as many body parts as possible
2. Use largest body parts and muscle groups first
3. Sequentially accelerate each body part
4. Sequentially stabilise each body part so the next body part accelerates around a stable base.

Centre of Gravity
Single segmental objects have their Centre of Gravity directly above the base of support.
Sometimes the Centre of Gravity can be found outside the body. (Arc)
The balance point of an object

Inertia
A bodies resistance to change in its state of motion (either from rest or moving).
1. An objects resistance to beginning motion
2. An objects resistance to changing its state of motion
The heavier the object the greater its inertia and therefore the greater force required to move it.
Inertia α Mass

Impulse
When a force is applied to an object, the product of the force (F) and the length of time (t) that the force is applied, is called the impulse of the force.
Impulse = Ft measured in Newton Seconds.

The Follow Through in Sport
In racket and bat sports, hitters are often encouraged to follow-through when striking a ball.
Following through increases the time over which a collision occurs therefore increasing the impulse
This contributes to an increase in the velocity change of the ball.
By following through, a hitter can hit the ball in such a way that it leaves the bat or racket with more velocity (i.e., the ball is moving faster). In tennis, baseball, racket ball, etc., giving the ball a high velocity often leads to greater success.
