5
Q
What are the 3 steps of developing the model
A
- Find mechanical purpose of skill
- Break down mechanical purpose into subgoals
- Identify mechanical bases for each subgoals
6
Q
What is the goal in a high jump
A
Clear the bar set as high as possible
7
Q
What is the mechanical
A
Maximize the height of the bar cleared
8
Q
What are the 3 subgoals
A
- maximize height of jumper’s CG at takeoff
- maximize the vertical displacement of CG from takeoff to max height
- Minimize difference between max height of jumper’s CG and crossbar height
9
Q
How would you maximize height of jumpers CG as high as possible at the instant of takeoff
A
- achieve an upright trunk position
- fully extend the takeoff leg
- reach high upward with both arms and the free leg
