Range of Motion
Range of motion(ROM) can be defined as the movement of body part through a particular joint’s complete,unrestricted.,normal motion. Normal joint movement is dictated by the following:
1. The type of joint involved
2. The shape and surface of the joint
3. The degrees of freedom of motion allowed at the particular joint
4. The contractile and noncontractile tissues surrounding the joint.
Normal ROM accurs smoothly when active muscle contraction produces muscle shortening. As the muscle shortens, the bone on which the particular muscle inserts is acted on, yielding physiological joint motion. Normal ROMs have been established for each joint of the body. ROM is categorized as being active, active-assisted, or passive. Active and passive components can be subdivided into physiological and accessory components.
Active ROM
Active range of motion(AROM) is the motion produced by active muscle contraction. Forces generated by the muscle that are primarily responsible for a given motion cause the body segment to which the muscle’s origin. AROM can occur with the assistance of gravity, with the effect of gravity eliminated, or against gravity. AROM must be assessed as the body part moves against gravity and it provides a true measurement of the muscle and tendon tissue’s effect on joint movement.
Active-Assisted Range of Motion(AAROM)
AAROM is motion in which the body segment being moved is assisted through at least part of the normal ROM. Motion must be assisted because of a breakdown in normal ROM. Assistance can be offered by gravity, an uninvolved body part, an object or device,or an external force.
Passive ROM
Passive range of motion(PROM) is movement that takes place with no active muscle assistance.it is usually performed by another person who takes the body part through the ROM manually. The athlete may also perform PROM manually on him or herself.

World takes drastic steps to contain swine flu(PORK IS SIN AND SICKNESS)
(http://www.webziner.com/islam/whypork.htm)
The following lists show germs or parasites that are found
in pork and some diseases caused by them. Many of these
diseases are contagious while some are proven fatal.This proves
that the more science advances the more Islam is shown correct
as a religion of God.
PARASITIC DISEASES
a) TRICHINELLA SPIRATIS ( Trichina worms )
It is the most dangerous parasite to man ( Rheumatism and
muscular pain). The infected persons shown no symptoms, recover
very slowly some die, some reduced to permanent invalids. No one
is immune from this disease and there is no cure.
b) TAENIA SOLIUM ( Pork tape worm )
The worm causes malnourishment of the person leading
to anemia, diarrhea, extreme depression melancholia and
digestive disturbances. Cysticercosis means that larva enter
the blood stream then settle down in one or more of the vital
organs of the body, for example: brain, liver, lungs or spinal
cord. They grow and encapsulate, inducing pressure to the
system around, resulting in dangerous diseases (diarrhea,
digestive disorder, anemia, chronic invalidation).
c) ROUND WORMS
d) HOOK WORMS
e) SCHITOSOMA JAPONICUM
f) PARAGOMINES WESTERMAINI
g) PACIOLEPSIS BUSKI
h) CLONORCHIS SINENSIS
i) METASTRONGYLUS APRI
j) GIGANTHORINCHUS GIGAS
k) BALATITIDIUM COLI
BACTERIAL DISEASES
1. Tuberculosis
2. Fusiformis necrofurus: causing foot-rot which is very
difficult to heal.
3. Salmonella Cholera suis: causing cholera
4. Paratyphoid
5. Bruceellosis: Acute, sub acute and chronic. It may lead
to permanent disabilities.
6. Swine Erysipelas: causing Erypelas in man.
Viral Diseases
1. Small pox: is was a source of infection to man.
2. Japanese B-encepphalitis: It is the source of infection
3. Influenza, foot mouth disease, gas tro-enteritis of the
new born babies.
Protozoal Diseases : Toxo plasma goundii- It is a very
dangerous diseases.A new born baby of an infected woman may die
within few days or weeks after delivery. But if he survives
he may develop blindness or deafness.In adult chronic exhaustive
fever with enlarged liver and spleen may occur. Pneumonia, or
celebro- spinal meninggitis which may lead to death or madness.
The patient may become blind and deaf too.
Fats In Pigs:
Pork contains more fats than other meats.
Therefore, people who are fond of pork are more obese than
others. Cholesterol is higher in their blood thus making them
more prone to asthereosclerosis cardiovascular accidents and
sudden death.
Other Diseases :
Flesh of the pork is hard to digest and may
lead to chronic digestive disturbances. Pimples, boils, cysts are
common in pork eaters. These are some of the parasites and
diseases found in pork and/ or the skin of pigs and certainly
there are many more. There is still no means of killing these
parasites, in the tissues, neither has anyone found a method of
expelling them, even produced any specific treatment for the
diseases.

Badminton

Sudirman Cup Uber Cup Thomas Cup
THOMAS CUP
The Thomas Cup – “Men’s Team World Badminton Championship”, held every two years, is the most sought after men’s team trophy for badminton. Only three nations have won the Thomas Cup since its inception in 1948; Malaysia, Indonesia and China. Formerly known as 'The International Badminton Championship Challenge Cup', the silver-gilt trophy is usually referred to by its more familiar title of 'The Thomas Cup'.The Thomas Cup competition in 1948 was BWF’s first major international tournament. The trophy was donated by the first president of the world body, Sir George Thomas.
UBER CUP
The Uber Cup – “Women’s Team World Badminton Championship” - is the most sought after women’s team trophy in the badminton world. Only four nations have won the Uber Cup since its inception in 1956; the USA, Japan, Indonesia and China. The idea of an international team competition for women along the lines of the Thomas Cup contest was first mooted early in 1950 when the BWF (then known as IBF) received the offer of a trophy from Mrs H S Uber.Prompted by the enormous success of the men’s championships trophy for the Thomas Cup, there was strong interest in the idea and in 1953, the institution of the Championships was agreed upon in principle. Mrs. Uber's offer was gratefully accepted and regulations drawn up and approved for the event and it was agreed that the inaugural contest should take place over 1956-7
SUDIRMAN CUP
The Sudirman Cup - the World Team Championships - is held every two years and is one of the most prestigious titles for badminton. It is also the only BWF world event for men and women competing together in national teams.The event was first hosted in 1989 with 28 national teams. It now attracts more than 50 national teams. Only three nations have won the Sudirman Cup since its inception - Indonesia (1 - once), Korea (3 times) and China (6 times). The first Sudirman Cup tournament was played in Indonesia in 1989 and it became a biennial event with the first few competitions staged in conjunction with the World Championships.The idea of a mixed team event first came up during IBF Council meetings in 1986 and by 1988 the IBF had accepted and approved the regulations for the competition to be staged in conjunction with the World Individual Championships. The IBF accepted from the Badminton Association of Indonesia, a memorial to the late Dick Sudirman in the form of a cup to be known as the 'Sudirman Cup' and to be presented to the winners of the World Mixed Team Championship. Dick Sudirman, as well as being a long-serving member of IBF Council, first as a Councilor and then Vice-President, was known as the father of Indonesian badminton and was a champion player in his own right. He was a founder of Bulutangkis Seluruh Indonesia (PBSI - The Badminton Association of Indonesia) and served as its President for 22 years.By the 8th Sudirman Cup in the Netherlands (2003), the event had grown sufficiently in world stature for it to become a stand-alone tournament in the world badminton calendar. There is no prize money for this event - just the prestige of playing for ones country. In addition there are valuable BWF World Ranking points to be earned and this is particularly important for countries in the lower groups in an Olympic Qualifying period.

Criterion Validity
From Wikipedia .(In psychometrics, criterion validity is a measure of how well one variable or set of variables predicts an outcome based on information from other variables, and will be achieved if a set of measures from a personality test relate to a behavioral criterion that psychologists agree on. A typical way to achieve this is in relation to the extent to which a score on a personality test can predict future performance or behaviour. Another way involves correlating test scores with another established test that also measures the same personality characteristic.Criteria or concrete validity is the extent to which the measures are demonstrably related to concrete criteria in the "real" world. This type of validity is often divided into "concurrent" and "predictive" subtypes. The term "concurrent validity" is reserved for demonstrations relating a measure to other concrete criteria assessed simultaneously. "Predictive validity" refers to the degree to which any measure can predict future concrete events. These variables are often represented as “intermediate” and “ultimate” criteria. For example, let us say we are conducting a study on success in college. If we find out there is a high correlation between student grades in high-school math classes and their success in college (which can be measured by many possible variables), we would say there is high criterion-related validity between the intermediate variable (grades in high-school math classes) and the ultimate variable (success in college). Essentially, the grades students received in high-school math can be used to predict their success in college.)

sports science & Physical Education:Face Validity
Sports science & Physical Education- A test has face validity if it appears to measure the ability in question.Some measurement specialist do not like the term face validity.The term logical validity is often used when a test obviously involves the skill or ability that is being evaluated.A test that call for a student to walk along a narrow board or beam is obviously a test of dynamic balance.A test requires a subject to run rapidly in and round closely spaced obstacles can be considered to have face validity as an agility test and so on.While face validity does not lend itself to any type of statistical treatment, it is an important concept that unfortunately is often overlooked by tester in search of highly measures.A tester should always be cognizant of face validity, since it is of paramount importance from the students point of view.More will be said about face validity as well as the other functional criteria for judging the worth of a test

sports science & Physical Education: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

The knee joint provides mobility and stability for your legs during walking and running activities. However, these functions can be compromised if the knee is injured. With the increased popularity of and participation in sports and fitness activities, the number of knee injuries has increased. The severity of these injuries varies from mild strains (injury to a muscle or its tendon, which connects muscle to bone) or sprains (injury to a ligament, which connects two bones) to complete tears of the ligaments and other soft tissue structures of the knee. The anterior cruciate ligament is located in the center of the knee and holds the femur and the tibia in place. The anterior cruciate ligament attaches from the back of your femur to the front of your tibia. The anterior cruciate ligament prevents these bones from moving backward and forward or side to side. The anterior cruciate ligament is made up of two intertwining ligaments working together yet performing different jobs. One ligament keeps the femur and tibia in place when the knee is flexed and the other ligament tightens to hold the bones together when the knee is extended or straightened out. The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the most important ligaments to athletes because of its main function, stabilization of the joint while decelerating.
