Analyzing the Knee in a Basketball Dunk
The purpose of the study is to determine the physical and the general mechanisms involved in the knee, specifically on the bouncing force and endurance when dunking a basketball. A knee is a credible and complex joint in the body that intersects the thigh bone (femur)to the shin bone (tibia). It also comprises a smaller bone that runs alongside the tibia (fibula) and kneecap (patella). In the analysis, knee aspects provide the basis for future basket teaching and training. Under the adopted motion video recording, the method develops a multi-joint velocity measurement under the stretch of muscle and the angle of athlete height jumping (Durant). To determine this, knee flexibility impacts a great role in the vertical jump if one can undertake a seated hamstring stretch, seated cross stretch, and the stair calf stretch. Under the biomechanical analysis, the athlete performs a step jump, vertical jump, and isokinetic strength of the springing force.
It is also discovered that in the dunking of basketball, athletes should incorporate their knee in active and passive insufficient under the condition in which their motion is based on. The contraction of the multi-jointed muscle should produce the force under the ankle-based joint position, thus relaxing the muscle thus activating the antagonist. In muscle stretching, the muscle stretch to and extent of allowing the ROM at all knee joints. Muscle contraction views knee segmented bone to be more rotational and stable, thus prone to injuries. The flexibility and mechanism of an athlete in a basketball dunk are always accompanied by the ankle presentation, which is transferred to the knee joint. Stretching and intensive vertical jump and stamina is then the ground is developed due to muscle contraction.
