Floorball Penalties, Expulsions, and Goals

Penalty Shot

A penalty shot is awarded due to an infringement. Play restarts with the ball placed at the central point. All players, except the player taking the penalty and the goalkeeper, must remain in the substitution zone until the play is complete.

The player taking the penalty is positioned on the center line and can play the ball an unlimited number of times, but the ball must continuously move forward.

Understanding Flexibility

Flexibility is a physical quality that allows for large-scale movements. This quality is different for each person.

Components of Flexibility

The degree of flexibility is determined by two factors:

  • 1. Muscle Elasticity: The ability of the muscles and tendons to lengthen and return to their original shape without deformation.
  • 2. Joint Mobility: The ability of joint movement. This movement is different for each person and varies depending on the type of joint.

Types of Flexibility

  • Dynamic: The practice performed when we are doing a movement looking for the maximum amplitude of a joint and maximum stretching.
  • Static: The practice when no movement is appreciable. These are determined by taking one position and stretching from

Technical Activities: From Ancient Times to Today

Technical Activities

The technical term comes from the Greek technné, which meant art, craft, method, and technique. We can define it as the ability to modify the environment to one's advantage, which consists of the possession of effective ways to proceed, the possibility of creating, and using tools that construct the action helpers. Animals can build things that seem to be a product of the technique, but in reality, it is limited to fixed patterns of behavior, so they do not have the capacity to refine their constructions, nor to invent and fabricate other devices that work best. Primates only minimally approach the human ability to imagine, build, and use effective tools in the solution of the problems they encounter.

Understanding Key Health & Fitness Concepts

Maximum Heart Rate (FCM) Formulas

Maximum Heart Rate (FCM) is a crucial metric for exercise intensity. Various formulas are used to estimate it:

  • General Formula: 220 - Age
  • Alternative for Men: 210 - (0.5 x Age) - 1% of Body Weight + 4
  • For Men (H): 208.7 - (0.73 x Age)
  • For Women (M): 0.77 (This value may be a multiplier or part of a larger formula.)
