Velocity and Position by Graphical Method01:34

Velocity and Position by Graphical Method

9.3K
Velocity and position can be calculated from the known function of acceleration as a function of time. The total area under the acceleration-time graph and the velocity-time graph gives the change in velocity and position, respectively. In the case of an airplane, its acceleration is tracked using the inertial navigation system. The pilot provides the input of the airplane's initial position and velocity before takeoff. The inertial navigation system then uses the acceleration data to...

Relative Motion Analysis - Acceleration01:10

Relative Motion Analysis - Acceleration

667
A slider-crank mechanism converts rotational motion from the crank into linear motion of the slider or vice versa. This mechanism consists of three main parts: the crank, the connecting rod, and the slider. The movement of the slider-crank is an example of general plane motion as the fluctuating angle between the crank and the connecting rod. Consider a segment AB where point A is at the end of the slider and point B is on the diametrically opposite end to point A, on a crack. The variance in...

Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes - Acceleration

599
Consider a component AB undergoing a linear motion. Along with a linear motion, point B also rotates around point A. To comprehend this complex movement, position vectors for both points A and B are established using a stationary reference frame. The absolute velocity of point B is determined by adding the absolute velocity of point A, the relative velocity of point B in the rotating frame, and the effects caused by the angular velocity within the rotating frame.

Direction of Acceleration Vectors01:10

Direction of Acceleration Vectors

20.0K
Acceleration occurs when velocity changes in magnitude (an increase or decrease in speed), direction, or both. Although acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity, it is not always in the direction of motion. When an object slows down, its acceleration is opposite to the direction of its motion. This is commonly referred to as deceleration. However, the term deceleration can cause confusion in analysis because it is not a vector; it does not point to a specific direction with...

Instantaneous Acceleration

21.3K
Acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity, but it is not always in the direction of motion. When an object slows down, its acceleration is opposite to the direction of its motion. Although commonly referred to as deceleration, this causes confusion in our analysis as deceleration is not a vector, and does not point to a specific direction with respect to a coordinate system. Therefore, the term deceleration is not used. For example, when a subway train slows down, it...

Summary

This study introduces the deceleration deficit (DD) as a new method to measure how well athletes slow down during changes of direction (COD). Results show DD is distinct from COD deficit (CODD), offering a more isolated measure of deceleration ability.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Biomechanics
  • Athletic Performance

Background:

  • Change of direction (COD) performance is crucial in many sports.
  • Existing metrics like COD deficit (CODD) may not isolate deceleration ability.
  • A novel field-based method, the deceleration deficit (DD), was developed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between linear speed and COD performance.
  • To compare the novel deceleration deficit (DD) with the existing COD deficit (CODD).
  • To determine if DD provides a more isolated measure of deceleration capabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-six athletes performed 15-m linear sprints and 505 COD tests.
  • Deceleration deficit (DD) was calculated using the 15-m approach in the 505 test minus linear sprint time.
  • Z-scores were used to compare individual differences between DD and CODD.

Main Results:

  • Linear sprint speed showed significant correlations with 505 COD performance.
  • Both DD and CODD were significantly related to COD performance.
  • A substantial portion of athletes (78%) showed meaningful differences between DD and CODD measures.

Conclusions:

  • Linear speed is a primary determinant of 505 COD performance.
  • Deceleration deficit (DD) appears to be a more isolated measure of an athlete's ability to decelerate compared to CODD.
  • DD may offer a more specific assessment tool for training interventions targeting deceleration.
