(€a) uilibriua, in all activities, is an active muscular process to control
the center of gravity of the body and of its parts with respect to the base of support.
(b) Newtonian Laws:
1. The laws of inertia:
1. A resting body remains at rest if no external force operates upon it,
2« A body moving with uniform motion retains this uniform motion so long
as no external force operates upon it,
2s The laws of acceleration; oe
1. Acceleration is directly proportional to the force producing ite
&. Acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the body.
3 Acceleration is in the same direotion as the force producing it.
S$, The law of reaction: Every ferce which meets resistance has an equal
and opposite counterforce.

(b) 1. Those in which performer keeps contact with the object. Ex: pushing, pulling,
2. Those in which momentum is developed in an object and then released. Ex:
. All types of throwing. 3
5» Those skills in which momentum of a body part, or of a tool, is imparted
to either a stationary or moving object and it is either moved or
accelerated in movement thereby. Ex: serving a tennis ball, or a place
kick in football, or striking a basekall, etc.

(a) In archery the momentum is developed in object and then released, as in throwing,
Archery calls for precision of movement. Its successful achievement depends largely upon
the kinesthetic perception of pesition and ability always to reproduce this desired
position, While it belongs to the seme class of skills as throwing, it involves the pro-
jection of the arrow by a mechanical device rather than by muscular force. This game
demands static rather than dynamic precision,

(b) In badminton, we have a type of the fundamental skill of striking, i.e., the
type wherein the momentum of a tool or body part is imparted to either a stationary or a
moving object by an external forte, and the object is moved thereby,

Badminton involves many striking techniques, While the game is similar in
some ee to tennis, is differs definitely, The equipment is largely responsible for
this, lighter racquet is largely responsible for this and thus lacks the potential
force of the tennis racquet. The .compensation for this lack of force must be made in the
greater speed of the stroke and in oa different timing. From the standpoint of mechanics
these drives are classified as either underhand or overhand,
