FIG. 1 Impact and rotation during an agility task.

Useful Equations

speed = ∆d/∆t

velocity (v) = ∆s/∆t (rω for a spinning object)

acceleration (a) = ∆v/∆t

momentum (p) = m × v

conservation of momentum: m1v1 = m2v2

impulse (J) = F × t or mv

coefficient of variation (CV) = SD/mean × 100%

sine rule: sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse

cosine rule: cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse

tan rule: tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side
