The three axes of rotation

As I mentioned, there are three axes of movement which are linked with the three planes of movement:

Sagittal axis & Frontal plane

Frontal axis & saggital plane

Vertical axis & transverse plane

Centre of Mass and Performance in Trampolining

How do changes in centre of mass affect performance?

How different types of levers and changes in centre of mass combine to affect performance? (in relation to rugby and NFL)

"The low man wins"

When a rugby or NFL player is low they are in a position for better torque as the athlete and their centre of mass goes upwards on their opponent while tackling. This is because low moment-arm increases as position get's higher. This means the distance between the opponents pivot point and location of force increases which allows for higher torque on opponent.
