Xantham gum Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide, derived from the bacterial coat of Xanthomonas campestris, used as a food additive and rheologymodifier,[2] commonly used as a food thickening agent (in salad dressings, for example) and a stabilizer (in cosmetic products, for example, to prevent ingredients from separating). It is produced by the fermentation of glucose, sucrose, or lactose by the Xanthomonas campestrisbacterium. After a fermentation period, the polysaccharide is precipitated from a

BIOMECHANICS The term biomechanics means the study of the structure and function of biological systems using the methods of mechanics. Biomechanics studies the process of kinematics and used in the study of sports actions, such as the motion of throwing a baseball. Why do some golfers slice the ball? How can workers avoid developing low back pain? What cues can a physical education teacher provide to help students learn the underhand volleyball serve? Why do some elderly individuals tend to fall

Dips Motor Skill Analysis Jamarian Brown, Michael Johnson, Anthony Reynolds Dr. Grant, M. KSPE 3411 Fall 2012 December 6, 2012 Abstract Anatomical and biomechanical aspects go hand and hand together to help with motor development. The dip is an exercise used in strength training that works and mainly targets the muscles in your chest, shoulders, and arms at the same time. Biomechanics, which is our main focal point, is mostly concerned with the basic laws that govern the effects that different
