Document Summary
1. principles of studying motion (linear, angular and general) Assessment of work and power in human motion (exercise) Displacement in context with a spatial referencing system. Forces acting on and within biological structures, and the effects of those forces. The human body at rest or in motion . Static biomechanics, are bodies, masses and forces at displaying no change in motion. Dynamic biomechanics, bodies, asses, and forces changing in motion. Kinetics; the effects of force on motion (e. g muscle force causing rotation) Which is a complex combination of these motion components. All points of the body move in the same direction and same speed. Curvilinear translation (curved path), direction changes but orientation remains stable. Knee extension/flexion moving limb in motion relative to the other areas of the body. Walking; hips rotating around axis with angular motion, and upper angular components during motion toro moving forwards in same speed in translational linear motion.
