USES FOR BIOMECHANICS
WHAT WE THINK IT SHOULD BE
- ERGONOMICS - CAR DESIGN
- DESIGN OF TOOLS
- MATERIAL HANDLING
- DESIGNS OF FACTORIES
- SPORTS EQUIPMENT
- CELL PHONES/ COMPUTERS
UNITS OF MEASUREMENTS
6
- DISTANCE: MILES,FT, INCHES/M, MM,
- VELOCITY: M PER SEC, CM/SEC, KM/SEC, FT/SEC, IN/SEC, MI/HR
- ACCELERATION: FT/SEC^2, IN/SEC^2
- GRAVITY: 32.2 FT/S^2
- FORCE: LBS
- MASS: SLUGS
SCALAR
-MAGNITUDE
–MASS, SPEED, TIME.
EX: 100 METER RUN, IN 10 SECONDS
VECTOR
MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION
–WEIGHT FORCE, VELO, ACCEL
EX: 100 M RUN SOUTH
PLANES OF MOTION
- SAGGITTAL PLANE
- FRONTAL PLANE
- TRANSVERSE PLANE
SAGGITTAL PLANE
-SPLITS LEFT FROM RIGHT
–INC, FLEXION, EXTENSION
–MOVEMENTS TO FRONT AND BACK OF BODY
EX: RUNNING
FRONTAL PLANE
CUTS FRONT TO BACK
- -JUMPING JACK
- -ABDUCTION, ADDUCTION, ELEVATION DEPRESSION.
TRANSVERSE PLANE
- -CUTS TOP FROM BOTTOM
- -TURNING IN A CIRCLE
- -ROTATIONAL MOVEMENTS, LATERAL AND MEDIAL ROTATION, SUPINATION AND PRONATION.
AXES OF ROTATION
- MEDIALLATERAL AXES
- ANTEROPOSTERIOR
- LONGITUDINAL
MEDIALATERAL AXES
(FRONTAL - HORIZONTAL)
SAGITAL PLANE
ANTEROPOSTERIOR AXES
(SAGITAL - HORIZONTAL)
-FRONTAL PLANE
LONGITUDINAL AXES
(VERTICLE)
- TRANSVERSE PLANE
PLANES OF MOTION MUSCULAR CONTRACTION
CONCENTRIC
- ISOMETRIC
- ECCENTRIC
CONCENTRIC
MUSCLE FORCE OVERCOMES RESISTANCE FORCE
ISOMETRIC
MUSCLE FORCE=RESISTANCE FORCE
ECCENTRIC
MUSCLE FORCE LESS THAN RESISTANCE FORCE. MOST AMOUNT OF FORCE.
-MOST AMOUNT OF FORCE, SPRING ENERYGY ALSO.
TYPES OF MOVEMENT (JOINT)
7 COMBOS
- FLEXION, EXTENSION
- ABDUCTION, ADDUCTION
- SUPINATION, PRONATION
- ELEVATION, DEPRESSION
- HORIZONTAL ADDUCTION/ ABDUCTION
- PROTRACTION, RETRACTION
- PLANTAR FLEXION, DORSI FLEXION
AGONIST
-CAUSES MUSCLE ACTION. BICEP CURL
ANTAGONIST
OPPOSES ACTION STABILIZES. ACTING BUT NOT CAUSING ACTION. TRICEP IN CURL.
INCREASE RANGE OF MOTION
- SLOW STATIC STRETCH: MECHANICALLY STRETCHING THE MUSCLE.
2. PIVF: CONTRACTING AGONIST RESISTANCE.
COEFFICIENT OF RESTITUTION
-MEASURES ENERGY RETURNED TO AN OBJECT(BALL) AFTER IT HITS SOMETHING. IT IS A FUNCTION OF THE BALL AND TOE SURFACE.
