BIOMECHANICAL PERSPECTIVE OF SWIM DIVING
Energy
There are many different meanings for the term the term 'energy'. However, in this blog we are referring to the mechanical energy in which an object or the position of an object can create energy. According to Blazevich (2012), the two different mechanical energies that can be explored are Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy. McGinnis (2005), states that the kinetic energy is in relation of the effect of an objects velocity and mass. Potential energy is the energy that can be transpired into work (distance of which the force is applied multiplied by the force) due to the positions of the objects (Blazevich, 2012)(McGinnis, 2005). In swimming, potential energy is stored and released into the dive to increase acceleration.
