Exam 1 (Ch.1-4) Flashcards
Analyzing of the mechanical aspect of living organisms
Biomechanics
study of systems in constant motion (including zero)
Statics
study of systems subject to acceleration
dynamics
study of the appearance of description of motion
kinematics (form or technique)
study of the action of forces
kinetics
pertaining to quality
qualitative (strong, skillful, agile, flexible, fast, etc)
involving number
quantitative (3 seconds, 50 turns, 2 players, etc)
Most common form of movement
General movement
combination of linear and angular movement
general movement
movement along a line
linear motion
motion along a straight line
rectilinear
motion along a curved line
curvilinear
type of movement involving rotation around an axis
angular movement
movements are _____ to the planes they occur in
parallel

How many parts to a qualitative analysis
5
qualitive analysis
- what is the OPO?
- breakdown into phases
- question of interest
- describe phase
- movement of interest
- question of interest
- movement of interest
- what is the overall performance objective of movement (OPO, purpose of movement, any restrictions?)
- Breakdown the movement into phases and sub phases
- describe the phases (critical events, movement technique)
Natural property of a body to resist a change in it’s natural state of motion (seatbelt)
inertia
Quantity of matter of which a body is composed
mass
more mass= ____ force to move
more
