WRIST WEIGHT [4 records]

Record 1 2014-10-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Lacrosse
CONT

Our reading has indicated that the over-the-shoulder shot can indicate both a simple overhand shot (i.e., above the shoulder) and a shot in which the shooter swings the stick both behind the back and over the shoulder.

OBS

The upper hand of the shooter is in a position over his shoulder... [and] follows through in a vigorous throwing motion with a snap of the wrist as the lower hand pulls down hard on the butt end of the handle. The body weight transfers from the rear to the front leg... The head of the stick actually ends up pointing to the ground because the body follow-through is so complete.

CONT

The SRMS [Station Remote Manipulator System] is a remotely controlled six degree-of-freedom payload handling device comprised of the following component sub-systems... Linking the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints are the upper and lower arm booms. These booms are constructed of graphite-epoxy. The upper arm boom is approximately 5 m long by 33 cm in diameter comprising 16 plies of graphite-epoxy(each ply is. 013 cm thick) for a total weight of just under 23 kg. The lower arm boom is approximately 5. 8 m long by 33 cm in diameter comprising 11 plies of graphite-epoxy for a total weight of just over 22. 7 kg. Each boom is protected with a Kevlar bumper(the same material used in bulletproof vests) to preclude the possibility of dents or scratches on the carbon composite.

OBS

arm boom: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

OBS

Les segments relient les articulations de l'épaule, du coude et du poignet pour former la partie supérieure et inférieure du bras. Ceux-ci sont fabriqués de matériaux composites en graphite/époxy. Le segment supérieur mesure environ 5 m de longueur et 33 cm de diamètre. Il est formé de 16 couches de composite en graphite/époxy (chaque couche étant d'une épaisseur de 0,013 cm) et pèse un peu moins de 23 kg. L'avant-bras mesure 5,8 m de longueur et 33 cm de diamètre. Il est constitué de 11 couches de composite graphite/époxy et pèse 22,7 kg. Chaque segment est protégé par un revêtement en Kevlar (le même matériel utilisé pour la fabrication des gilets pare-balles) afin de prévenir les dommages éventuels (bosses et égratignures).

OBS

segment du bras : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).

Record 3 2002-05-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ice Hockey
DEF

A shot at goal made with a long sweep of the blade on the ice (as if sweeping the floor or shovelling the snow) before executing the shot proper.

OBS

The shot is initiated by transferring body weight to the skate closest to the target. As weight is transferred, arms begin to drag, or sweep the puck/stick quickly towards the target. In one motion, top arm snaps towards the body and the wrist is rapidly extended while bottom wrist flexes and snaps stick through...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hockey sur glace
DEF

Lancer vers le filet, la lame du bâton restant longuement en contact avec la glace avant de décocher le tir comme tel qui impute une trajectoire à la rondelle; mouvement semblable à celui du balai pour ramasser la poussière.

OBS

La rondelle est placée près du corps vis-à-vis ou en arrière du patin arrière; il se produit une rotation vigoureuse du tronc, des épaules et des bras vers la cible et un transfert de poids de la jambe arrière à la jambe avant; il y a alors le mouvement balayé du bâton, suivi d'un fouetté violent des poignets.
