applied to the laws of mechanics and physics to human performance
- contributed to the improvement in mechanical aspects of sport performance

Q
Newtons 1st law of motion
A
“ a body continues in its state of rest or state of motion unless acted upon by a force”
This law is also referred to as the law of inertia
3
Q
