What is Rotation?
The circular movement around a fixed point/axis of a given object is known as rotation. That is, it is spinning something is rotating around some center point. The most familiar one is the rotation of the earth on its axis. The rotation of the earth is in the direction of west and east and after each day the rotation of the earth takes about 24 hours resulting to day and night. Most of the things that one knows can be rotated e.g. top, bicycle wheel, ceiling fan or clock hands. The term rotating is used in science especially in physics and astronomy to explain the rotation of planets and stars among others in space.
The physical education and sport may also have intended changing of play or place which is implied by a rotation. In volleyball, it follows the same, and one switches positions with the other after a serve by the other player. This would also mean that each of the players will have the opportunity of playing in other positions.
What are the benefits of Rotation?
The positive aspects of rotation are numerous based on the situation to which it is applied. Astronomy would not be able to sustain life without rotation of the Earth. It generates the day and night cycle thereby maintaining the constant temperature and enabling the living organisms to sleep and be awake at a given time. The rotation of the earth would ensure that one side of the earth is always facing the Sun and therefore hot and the other one cold.
Agricultural rotation i.e. planting various crops in the same land at various times also contributes to the maintenance of the soil in terms of keeping it fertile, reduction in the pests and diseases and even the crop production. It is an exercise which makes the soil good and fruitful in the long-run.
Sports and workplaces It is desirable that the positioning or work should be diversified in such a way that it will develop various skills, avoiding boredom, and, also, diminished fatigue. It is not that people will turn out to be more flexible and adaptable as they will have gained more experience as they end up shifting the duties they have. The muscles to be worked in exercises will not be overworked because they will be swapped and the muscles will have the opportunity to rest sufficiently.
