1. deflection - answerdeflection: a turning aside or off course
b b b b b b b b b
Look at these : b b b
Which properties are important in deflecting force away from the body
b b b b b b b b b b
• Hard
b
• Rounded
b
• Smooth
b
• Ridges

2. dissipation -
b b
answerdissipation: to cause to spread thin or scatter and gradually vanish
b b b b b b b b b b b b
• Disperse focal force over a larger surface
b b b b b b b

• Layers
b
• Various materials
b b
3. deformation - answerdeformation: alteration of form or shape
b b b b b b b b b
• Change in shape or structure - cantilever pads
b b b b b b b b
• May blow apart @ high force - bike helmet
b b b b b b b b b
4. absorption -
b b
answerabsorption: to receive without recoil or echo (Merriam Webster on-

line dictionary)
b
Materials:
-Felt
-Foam (open cell or closed cell)
b b b b b
- Air
b
- Fluid
b
*Increased Density = greater resistance @ high force (denser foam will have gr
b b b b b b b b b b b b
eater protective qualities with greater forces)
b b b b b
*Decreased Density = more absorption @ lower force
b b b b b b b
Absorption materials : felt - answer• Made from matted wool fibers
b b b b b b b b b b

• Less tendency to shift or move over skin
b b b b b b b b
• Absorbs fluids (sweat, blood, etc)
b b b b b
- Heavy when wet
b b b
• Not very resilient
b b b
Must be replaced daily!
b b b
Absorption materials: foam (open cell) - answer- open cell
b b b b b b b b
Like sponge
b
Low resilience- doesn't bounce back
b b b b
Used to pad bony prominences
b b b b
Used to protect skin under hard edges of protective equipment (comfort)
b b b b b b b b b b
Decreased Density = more absorption @ lower force
b b b b b b b
absorption materials: foam (closed cell) - answerClosed cell (air cant go out)
b b b b b b b b b b b
• Used primarily for protection
b b b b
-Air can't pass from one to another
b b b b b b
• High resilience-Material rebounds and returns to its original shape quickly
b b b b b b b b b b
- Offers less cushioning at low levels of impact
