- When you brake to stop your car, you are decelerating. When a ball rolls on the ground and slows down to a stop, the ball is decelerating. Deceleration is the term used for acceleration that causes an object to slow down, while acceleration is motion where the speed of an object changes every second. However, in everyday usage, acceleration is usually taken to mean speeding up. Now that you know what deceleration is, let's look at an example.

Deconditioning Documents Homepage :: World of Sports Science :: Ce-Do. On a general level, deconditioning is a gradual physiological process whereby the level of physical conditioning and corresponding physical performance ability of the individual is reduced. Out of shape is the common expression used to convey this meaning. On a more sport-specific level, deconditioning is sometimes used as a planned period of inactivity to achieve a specific physiological end. Two vastly different circumstances are the best examples of the deconditioning process.

- ACCELERATION- A measure of the rate at which a  defined amount of matter   increases/decreases its velocity. Measured in change in velocity  over a period of   time.… Acceleration is directly proportional to force. It will  increase/decrease linearly   with an increase/decrease in force if mass remains constant.
