Document Summary
What is biomechanics: the study of the structure and function of biological systems by means of the method of mechanics. Sport biomechanics: professional athlete can perform an action with less variability than an untrained individual. Clinical biomechanics: child in video displays plantar flexed gait, cerebral palsy is cause of walking this way, cerebral palsy can be caused from lack of oxygen to. Ergonomics brain at birth: study of work place safety and effectiveness, how to reduce injury at work and how to do your work effectively without injury. Basic terminology: qualitative analyses, applied to coaches who watch their understudies, mostly observational. Versus: quantitative analyses, measuring the forces and causation of the observations, linear motion, motion along a certain path. Versus: angular motion, motion about an axis or point, kinematics, spatial and temporal aspects of motion. Versus: kinetics, concerns the forces acting on a system, forces that cause the motion, statics, systems not moving or moving at constant speed.
