  2. Magnus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect

    The Magnus effect is not responsible for the movement seen in conventional swing bowling, [30]: Fig. 4.19 in which the pressure gradient is not caused by the ball's spin, but rather by its raised seam, and the asymmetric roughness or smoothness of its two halves; however, the Magnus effect may be responsible for so-called "Malinga Swing", [31 ...

    Jungleball or Barbecue ball or Picnic ball : A volleyball game played by inexperienced players with little ball control; Killing Ants : when a player digging a hit passes the ball directly into the ground; Killshot : on a serve or a swing when the ball hits the passers neck or chest region, in between digging and getting facialed

  5. Vertical jump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_jump

    Vertical jump measurements are used primarily to measure athletic performance. In sports such as high jump, netball, basketball, Australian rules football, volleyball, figure skating and swimming a strong vertical jump is a necessary skill, but many other sports measure their players' vertical jump ability during physical examinations.

  6. LIGO Scientific Collaboration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIGO_Scientific_Collaboration

    The LSC was established in 1997, under the leadership of Barry Barish. [3] Its mission is to ensure equal scientific opportunity for individual participants and institutions by organizing research, publications, and all other scientific activities, and it includes scientists from both LIGO Laboratory and collaborating institutions.

  7. Float serve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_serve

    Float serves are only possible with minimal to no spin of the volleyball while it is moving in the air. [1] Unlike a topspin serve, which uses the spin of the ball to create a constant difference in pressure that drives the ball downward at a high speed, the float serve can be affected in any direction by the random forces of the air and pressure (drag, lift, drag crisis, turbulence) because ...

  8. Volleyball spiking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volleyball_spiking

    The setter will usually toss the ball to the attacker, called a set, who will choose which attack they want to perform. As the spike requires highly coordinated movement patterns in the approach, the swing, and the landing, it is one of the more difficult skills to master in volleyball. [4]

  9. Multi-stage fitness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-stage_fitness_test

    The multi-stage fitness test is also part of most health-related fitness test batteries for children and adolescents, such as Eurofit, [3] Alpha-fit, [3] FitnessGram [4] [3] and ASSOFTB. [ 5 ] The multi-stage fitness test was first described by Luc Léger [ 6 ] with the original 1-minute protocol, which starts at a speed of 8.5 km/h, and ...
