Record 4 2011-08-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Baseball and Softball
DEF

An intended play where the batter, as soon as the pitch starts travelling toward the plate, holds the bat out firmly with one or both hands so that the ball rebounds in front of home plate and, at the same time, begins his running motion toward first base. If correctly done, the ball rebounds on the bat and rolls in fair territory, the catcher or pitcher having to run for it for a throw to first base for the output.

Record 5 2010-07-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Track and Field
CONT

Speed of Release. This is perhaps the most important aspect in the range of the throw. The speed of release is a function of how hard you work and for how long, divided by how heavy the load is. To tidy this up: Relase Speed [equals the] Average force [multiplied by] the time of application [divided by] the mass of implement.

CONT

The approach run plays a key role in increasing the speed of release of the javelin, which is an important factor in determining the throw distance.

OBS

Technique/tactics - throwing events.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Athlétisme
CONT

La vitesse d'envol : elle dépend de l'accélération reçue sur la distance qui a précédé le lancer. 22m d'élan donne une vitesse de 14m/s.

CONT

La course d'élan est importante : sur une piste qui n'excède pas 36,50 m de long, elle s'achève sur une ligne courbe à ne pas dépasser. Elle permet de donner au javelot une vitesse d'envol en le plaçant sur une trajectoire qui doit être la plus longue possible; pour ce faire, le javelot doit être amené dans une position arrière maximale au moment de placement : c'est la position dite «du double appui», où avant le geste final du lancer, le javelot est pointé vers le haut selon un angle qui varie entre 30° et 40°.

OBS

Technique/tactique - lancers.

Record 6 2002-09-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Basketball
DEF

The area where teams line up to shoot foul shots, formerly shaped like a key.

CONT

At each end of the court a free-throw lane is marked. It is a rectangle 12 ft wide and extending 19 ft from the end-line. A semi-circle with a radius of 6 ft is drawn from the center of the free-throw lane giving the lane some resemblance to a keyhole. Hence it is normally referred to as the "key". No player is allowed to remain in the key for more than 3 sec. when his team has the possession of the ball.

CONT

From the ends of the foul line to the base line run two lines that form the free throw lane, or foul lane.... In international play the foul lane is 17 feet wide at the base line, and therefore its lines slant outward from the 12-foot-wide free throw lane.

Key term(s)
  • free throw lane
  • free-shot lane
  • free shot lane
  • foul-shot lane
  • foul shot lane
  • foul lane
