A number of recently published articles have dealt with aspects of mathematics as applied to the motion of the human body, [1, 2, 3], some with special regard to the modelling process. There seems to be a growing interest in the application of mathematics to this area and the recent introduction of A-level “Sports Studies” into some schools and sixth form colleges must help this trend. At a talk I gave recently to a branch of the Mathematical Association on “Mechanics and gymnastics”, five out of an audience of twenty-five were P.E. specialists looking for ideas to enable them to teach the mathematical/mechanical part of this A-level syllabus.
