Introduction:-
*Aerodynamic forces are important in
many racing sports and all those which
use projectiles.
*Sport is a science.
1-Swimming:-
* Which countries are distinguished in this game ?
1-1-Forces against the swimmer:-
*Skin friction: which is analogous to the "stickiness" of the
swimmer for moving through the water;
*Eddy resistance (Form drag): the amount of water that is
sucked along behind a swimmer as forward progression is
achieved and is proportional to the cross-sectional area
that is pushed against the water.
*Wave-making resistance: which is caused by swimmers'
movements that move large amounts of water (e.g., excessive diving of the shoulders and body at the butterfly entry).
1-2-Forces with the swimmer:-
*Propulsion:- The hand follows a curvilinear path to
continuously find still water to push against and thus gain
more resistance than it would by pushing against water
that had already been accelerated.
*Lift is important for propulsion:- For an optimal
propulsive force, the orientation of the hand must be
constantly fitted to ever changing directions of hand
movement during the pull. In order to select the angle
of attack which gives the optimal combination of drag
and lift forces at every moment of a pull.
*Finger Spacing effect on propulsion:-
1-3-Ways to decrease resistance on body:-
2- Javelin throw:-
* Which countries are distinguished in this game ?
Javelin throw
Drag and lift forces
The attack
angle
Javelin types
2-1- Drag and lift forces :-
The two important points in a javelin are the center of gravity, where the mass acts and the center of pressure where the less tangible aerodynamic forces of drag and lift act.

2-2- The angle of attack:-
*The angle of attack represents the difference between the path of the javelin and the path of the throwing hand.
*Some of the best throwers in the world would throw the javelin with as little as 30 degree angle.
*The most common method is releasing the javelin at about a 40 degree angle, causing more lift and flight to the javelin.
2-3- The headwinds and tailwinds javelins:-
Dick Held simply said to use the Tailwind javelin for tailwinds. In truth, he knew that the Tailwind javelin out performed the Headwind javelin in effectively all winds.
3-Cycling:-
* Which countries are distinguished in this game ?
