Math is used in netball when the umpire or the scorer works out whose centre pass it it after a goal has been scored. This is because the team that has the first centre pass of the game will have the centre pass for the goals which total even numbers (for example 2-4 or 17-11) and the other team will have the centre passes when the score adds up to an even number (eg 2-1 or 21-16). This changes after each interval so the team that had the first centre pass od the game will change and have the centre passes when the score adds up to an odd number and vice versa. Percentages are taken in netball. For example, a shooter may shoot 7 ot of 10 for a quarter. The shooter then shot a 70% and the coach can look at his and make decisions based on this.

Olympic standard velodromes may only measure between 250 m and 400 m, and the length must be such that a whole or half number of laps give a distance of 1 km. Others range from 133 m to 500 m, although 250m is the most popular and the length used in major events.
What should you wear under cycling shorts?
You wear compression shorts like boxer-briefs under soccer kits ect. They are comfortable to wear but kind of like tight underwear. The nylon- lycra type are comfortable to wear.
Compression shorts are tight but not too tight, and are very comfortable to wear. I would not recommend wearing any underwear under them. Some are designed to use a "cup" for certain sports. They are fine just the way they are, even for non-sports reasons. They can be worn as underwear most of the time.
What is the ideal weight for a 5 foot 8 inch cyclist?
There may be some slight differences between male and females (which you didn't specify).
I'm not sure why cyclists would be particularly different from other athletes, although I'm sure each sport has a little variation depending on the muscle groups they utilize the most, and weight is certainly a factor in hill climbing.
According to notes, Lance Armstrong is 5' 9 1/2", and has weighed between 163 (in 1999) and 174 lbs (in 1993).
Most body weight formulas calculate about 5 or 6 lbs per inch.
So, if you are 1.5 inches shorter than Lance Armstrong, then you would be about 9 lbs lighter, or somewhere around 154 to 165 lbs.
There is a link to an ideal body weight calculator in the related links section below.
According to that the people's choice "Ideal Weight" is somewhere around 142 lbs for females, and 156 for males. 151 lbs for the "Devine" formula for males, and 141 lbs using the "Devine" formula for women.
This isn't too far off from what we calculated with the Lance Armstrong example, although at least in his early years, Lance Armstrong was actually a bit heavier than predicted.

How many calories burned on a 25 mile bike ride?

How long does it take to burn calories on a bike?
It's not really about how far, but rather about for how long and how hard you'd have to ride.
On good roads, that'll take more miles than it would on poor roads.
I can go through 800 calories in less than one hour, most would probably do it in 90 minutes or so, some may need two hours or even more.

What are the rights of a person riding a bicycle in the street?
If you can keep up with cars you pretty much have the same rights they do last I heard. Left turn lanes are available to you also, but you need to stay up with traffic, or it's just dangerous. I would think if you impede, slow down traffic, you could be cited or warned. Cars that go too slow can receive a ticket for impeding traffic also.
Some states have designated bicycle paths on and off the road. Some states say that if you ride a bicycle in the road, you must abide by all road rules as if you were driving a car.
They have the same responsibilities or "rights" as all other traffic.
How do you get a kid to want to ride a bike?
I have two things to pass down to you from personal experience: 1) it helps if you get the child around other children who ride bikes, even if they are slightly older than he/she. 2) get a bike yourself and ride in front of the child or just play like your gonna ride his/her bike. Most of the time either one of those two will work, unless the kid is traumitized from a past experience! i hope i helped:)
How many calories does riding a stationary bike for 10 minutes burn?
The degree of resistence will determine how much. You would have to account for your weight, the weight of the bike, the surface you're riding on, the material, density and texture of the tires you're riding on, the angle of the surface you're riding on...It's subjective, so has no one right answer.
Why does running burn more calories than cycling?
When it comes to burning calories, your heart rate is much more important than what you are doing.
If you can reach and sustain the same heart rate for the same amount of time you will burn pretty much the same amount of calories regardless of activity.
For the same length of time, riding flat out will burn more calories than a casual walk, while walking briskly can burn more than a casual ride.
When you have a set distance, cycling will burn less calories than walking at the same level of effort, as the higher speed of the bike means you'll finish the distance faster.

What are the rules for cycling olympics?
Bicycle racing started out as road races, and that has remained fairly recognizable over the years. People ride faster, team tactics have become more developed but that's the main points about road racing.
Then there was the track racing, the single events(time trial) as opposed to the group events that sprung out of road riding.
But as the bike developed into several specialized versions (BMX, MTB etc) these too developed their own forms of competitions.

Difference between cycling and mountain biking?
The main differences between the two types of racing are the terrain and bicycles. Road races are usually held on closed courses around a city, across a state, etc. They cover a lot of miles. Races can go from 1 mile sprints to centuries (100 miles), to the well known Tour de France. Distances are determined by the race, skill levels, type, etc. Mountain bike races are on closed courses obviously in the mountains. Single-track courses are the most prevalent. Like road races distances vary. Road bicycles are significantly lighter and streamlined than mountain bikes. They are designed to fit their riders so comfortably they could ride hundreds of miles. They have skinnier tires for less friction on the road, and drop-style handlebars for comfort. A mountain bike is designed to deal with the terrain as well as the rider. Some mountain bikes may have full front and rear suspension, or none at all. They have beefier tires as well as stronger, thicker frames. The differences truly are night and day.
Is biking a good exercise to lose weight?
As long as you are alive you are already burning calories. And some of those calories come from fat. And the more physically active you are - the more you use your muscles - the more calories and fat you burn. I'll use up about 1000 cals/hour working real hard, which are about 30-50% from fat.
The most important thing to learn is that every kind of sports should be done in moderation during pregnancy.
The first rule is to communicate with your doctor and hearing what he thinks about.
It is right maintain a good level of fitness, eat well and avoid gaining too much excess weight, and exercise offers many benefits to both mother and child: increased blood flow, greater oxygen delivery, stress reduction.
But consider that you're living particular changes of your body, because now you are two! Infact you can be more tired than a normal condition, because the weight you have achieved, and you can have difficult to balance and there's more risk that you could fall off the bike.
Another issues to talk about is the period of your pregnancy: biking in the last trimester is not a good idea, you'd better choice a stationary bike inside your home. I can suggest you to read this article i've found in a specialistic web site about pregnancy and biking: http://www.womensbike.net/?p=82
What are some disadvantages of riding a bike in the community?
You don't get much of an upper body workout during road riding. Using the wrong technique and/or a poorly fitted bike can trash your knees. The hunched-forward position can cause pains in neck, shoulder, hands and the lower back. Depending on riding style and choice of surface there is a greater or smaller risk of falls. If you're riding in traffic you might become the target for road rage or sheer clumsiness. You can get a flat tire. It makes you sweat; especially bad if biking to social event, work, school, etc.
Most bikes don't have a roof in case of rain.
You can't bring your family with you, unless they have bikes of their own.
Helmet and/or wind will oftentimes mess up a good hairdo. You can crash and get hurt/dead.
