Document Summary
Movement and locomotion for the first time. Problems related to notions of balance and center gravity. Locomotion, human posture + daily actions: galileo galilei (1562-1642, mathematician, physics, and astronomer, interests: Notions of acceleration, inertia and trajectory projectiles and of balance and levers. Disapproved aristotle"s doctrine of falling bodies- gravity: giovanni a. borelli (1608-1679, he is also called the father of modern kinesiology, mathematician, physics and anatomist. 2: he is interested particularly in applying the concepts of levers to body segments, and phenomena of muscular contraction. He analyzes the human locomotion and introduces the concepts of force and external resistors: isaac newton & the principia , mathematical principles of natural philosophy, book i. Science and mechanics: 3 laws (inertia, acceleration, and action-reaction, book ii. New scientific philosophies: descartes and kepler, book iii. 3: his contribution to biomechanics is the sheer number of images he produced documenting movement, produced over 20 000 images later published in animals in.
