100

DAILY DOUBLE

During this type of dive the diver somersaults forward while facing the board, with no approach (standing).


(5 seconds to answer)

100

Movement that causes the COM to project upward and the feet to leave the ground

What is jumping?

100

This type of jump has no initial downward movement. 

What is a squat jump?

200

During this type of dive the diver is facing the water, approaches with several steps and somersaults in the forward direction.

What is forward?

200

The hang, sail, and hitch-kick are all styles of this type of jump.

What is the long jump?

200

Landing ends when COM stops moving in this direction.

What is downward?

300

This subphase of landing occurs during the first 50-80ms after ground contact. 

What is passive?

300

This biaxial muscle crosses the hip and knee and contributes to hip flexion and knee extension.

What is the Rectus Femoris?

300

During this subphase of landing eccentric muscle activation resists lower extremity flexion.

What is active?

400

Long jumpers experience this during the flight phase because vGRF does not pass directly through their COM at take off. 

What is angular momentum?

400

Due to the mechanical energy transfer, moment of inertia about the hip joint is reduced and this is increased.

What is angular velocity? (about the hip joint) 


400

The most critical phase of a spring board dive.

What is the takeoff phase?

500

During this type of springboard dive the diver approaches with several steps, is facing the water and somersaults backwards. 

What is a reverse?

500

During take off, the rectus femoris acts as this, when it extends both the hip and knee.  

What is a/are "stiff cable(s)"?

500

The most important contributor to distance jumped when performing a long jump 

What is "displacement of COM"?
