What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
This typically moves around the abdomen/hips as a stroke is performed.
What is CoM?
Prevents low blood pressure and swelling/excess fluid due to gravity.
What is Hydrostatic Pressure?
Allows athletes with physical, visual, or intellectual disabilities to compete against others with similar functional abilities.
What is the para-swimming classification system?
Result of wind moving across the surface.
What are waves?
Individual characteristics, external forces, and water type.
What determines floatation?
Results from alternating the left and right arms during a stroke.
What is body roll?
Mood increase, decreased pain perception, freedom of movement, creates social interactions, enhances self-esteem and body image while decreasing anxiety and depression.
What are the psychological benefits of aquatic therapy?
Highlighting its early emphasis on aesthetic and graceful movements, Artistic Swimming was initially known as this.
What is the Water Ballet?
When body temperature drops below 35 degrees Celsius, vessels near the surface begin to constrict, lower heart rate.
What is hypothermia?
The upward thrust force on a body immersed in water is equivalent to the weight of the water displaced by the immersed body.
What is Archimedes principle of buoyancy?
When an arm is above the waterline it shifts towards the feet and when and arm is below the waterline it shifts towards the head.
What is CoB?
Applies moves from Zen Schiatsu to decrease tension and improve well being.
What is the Watsu technique?
This principle of instruction emphasizes tailoring teaching methods and goals to meet the unique needs of abilities of each individual learner.
What is Individualization?
The term given to waves that pound onto the shore rather than roll.
What are dumpers?
This, along with the liquid it is placed in, determines an object's ability to float.
What is density?
What is buoyancy torque?
Improves circulation, increases muscle strength, and range of motion improves.
What are the benefits of aquatic therapy?
To ensure fairness and accuracy in scoring, these people are responsible for verifying that the elements performed during a routine match the difficulty declared on the team's card.
Who are the technical controllers?
20 cm thick
What is the minimum ice thickness for skating parties or games?
Is perpendicular to the direction of motion and can be in any direction.
What is lift?
Creates vortices, propulsion to move forward, drag and lift forces.
What is the pull phase?
Natural compression, slows down movement and provides support.
What is resistance/viscosity?
Developmental disabilities, ADHD, and Autism fall into this category of learner differences.
What are Cognitive and Learning differences?
Result of wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature variations, gravity, and events like earthquakes or storms.
What are ocean currents?
