  1. Force Summation Purpose Principles Questions

  2. What is Force Summation? • It is the combination of forces produced by different parts of the human body. • It’s purpose is to achieve maximum force/acceleration and apply it to an object or the human body.

  3. Principles • Principle 1 • Use as many body parts that relate to the movement as possible.

  4. Principles • Principle 2 • Body parts should move in a sequence with the bigger muscles (e.g lower body and trunk) leading the action. The smaller muscles closer to the object should be used last.

  5. Principles • Principle 3 • Muscle need to be used and accelerated with the correct timing.

  6. Principles • Principle 4 • All the muscles used must go through their greatest range of motion to achieve maximum momentum.

  7. Summary • The 4 principles of force summation are: • More muscles • Correct sequencing • Correct timing • Greatest range of motion • These 4 principles all help to generate maximum force.

  8. Stability and Balance • It is important that all of these actions are performed over a stable base. • This allows maximum force/acceleration to be applied to the object.

  9. Questions • Explain in detail how to achieve maximum acceleration in a chest pass in basketball? (use force summation principles in your answer).

  10. Questions • Explain in detail how to achieve maximum power in a 3 point shot in basketball.
