Examination Of Lower Limb Ambidextrous Execution Of The Snap Down Technique In Folk Style Wrestling, Nicholas Decastro
Examination Of Lower Limb Ambidextrous Execution Of The Snap Down Technique In Folk Style Wrestling, Nicholas Decastro
Honors Program Theses and Projects
The purpose of this study was to examine the kinematic motions of the lower extremity in the snap down technique. Specifically, the study examined the kinematic differences between execution using the dominant and non-dominant side. Angular displacement, velocity and acceleration of the hip, knee and ankle joint was examined. It was hypothesized that a significant statistical difference would be observed in multiple variables between the dominant and non-dominant limb execution. Five male collegiate wrestlers were recruited for participation in the study. Inclusion into the study was on the basis that each participant was right side dominant and displayed proper foot …

The purpose of this study was to bilaterally examine the kinematic motions of the upper extremity in the snap down technique. Six male collegiate wrestlers were recruited and performed a total of ten snaps, five from each side. A standard two-dimensional kinematic analysis was conducted in the upper extremity. The results showed no significant difference between right and left side in the angular displacement, velocity and acceleration. These findings indicated that upper limb ambidexterity was achieved by these college wrestlers in the study. From further video analysis, the study found some wrestlers appeared to use their shoulder and elbow as …
Kinematic Comparisons Between Forward And Backward Skating In Ice Hockey, Tong-Ching Tom Wu, David J. Pearsall, Pamela J. Russell, Yuko Imanaka
Kinematic Comparisons Between Forward And Backward Skating In Ice Hockey, Tong-Ching Tom Wu, David J. Pearsall, Pamela J. Russell, Yuko Imanaka

The purpose of this study was to examine the kinematics of lower body and trunk between forward and backward skating. Seven male collegiate ice hockey players skated both forward and backward (C-cut) four times each. A standard two-dimensional kinematic analysis was conducted to examine the lower body extremity and trunk at the instants of weight acceptance and propulsion. No significant differences in the joint angles were found at the weight acceptance. At the propulsion, significant differences were found in the joint angles of hip, knee, ankle and trunk between forward and backward skating. Hence, these findings indicate the importance of …
