Running a track event such as sprints provides you with different benefits than long-distance running. Sprinting helps develop the quick-twitch muscle fibers in your body, particularly in your legs. In a sense, practicing your sprints is comparable to weightlifting; the more you do it, the more muscle you'll develop, allowing you to improve. A 2012 study from Australia's University of New South Wales found that rapid bursts, such as those in sprinting, can help some people lose weight faster than
in cross country, but the distance is shorter. For Sprinters and Hurdlers, like me, workouts are much shorter and only Monday through Friday. As far as the length of meets, track meets are longer than cross country meets, track meets have many more events than cross country meets. In my opinion, placing in track is easier than placing in cross country, because in track meets there are only 9 runners per heat, and usually there are 2 to 4 heats. On the other hand, cross country has from 200 to as much
metres with a distance of 40 metres from the final hurdle to the finish. Success in this event is hard, it is not always the fastest athlete who wins, but the athlete with rhythm, efficiency and momentum throughout the race. The event requires a mixture of speed, spatial anticipation and endurance; very few events require these qualities whilst under anaerobic pressure. B1: Hurdling Technique The 400m hurdles event is not only demanding because of the distance but it is very technical. When competing

Physics of Basketball Speed can be characterized as the velocity of something in a provided guidance. Increasing speed is the vector amount that is characterized as the rate at which an item changes its speed. Jumpers ought to quicken to idle speed and keep up speed through the bounce. Ideal speed is at full speed, however capable and controllable sprint so that the run is steady.

Netball Requirements Speed Speed is required in both netball and 100m, in netball it is used to get free whereas in 100m its main use is to get from end to the other in the quickest possible time. Speed in netball I have given it 25% and in 100m I have gave it 80% so this shows that speed is more important in 100m than in netball. Strength Strength in needed in both netball and 100m it is used to snatch the ball from a rebound, and in 100m is it used to push of the blocks to give
you pay attention closely there is much more that goes on. I observed this event because I am a track athlete and wanted to see how others view the sport I like to play. I viewed the track meet with two different perspectives as a spectator and a competitor. As a spectator, I watched the whole arena versus when I was a competitor, I paid attention to individuals more. I also viewed the actions of coaches, fans, and the event staff within the arena and how they may or may not have an affect on the athletes
Prayer at Public School Athletic Events -Can We Get a Moment of- -Silence Here?- If public schools are just that, public, then why is the issue of prayer in school such a prominent and controversial debate especially when most of the public wants prayer in school?

Apoxyomenos and the Role of Athletics in Ancient Greek Culture According to Marilyn Stokstad, "the visual arts are among the most sophisticated forms of human communication, at once shaping and being shaped by their social context (xxxviii)." As this quote implies, artistic pieces invariably are a reflection of the culture in which they were created. Thus, art is a potent means of deciphering the values and belief systems of ancient societies. Apoxyomenos (330 BCE), or The Scraper, created by
