Biomechanics – The key biomechanical principles we learned in badminton are
force, levers and rotary motion which makes our body move.
We can apply these principles in swimming by using our arms and legs
for pushing and pulling, and our shoulders for rotary motion.
Write a sentence using 2 biomechanical principles used in swimming.
Buoyancy – The density of the water, air in our lungs, and our body composition
affect our buoyancy which helps us floats.
If we have high body fat our buoyancyincreases.
Write a sentence using the word Buoyancy.
Drag is an external force that opposes movement either forward
