What is biomechanics?
study of structure and function of biological systems by the means of the methods of mechanics
What is kinetics?
Study of the relationships between the forces acting on the body and how those forces affect motion
What is Kinematics?
branch of mechanics that deals with the geometry of the motion of objects, including displacement, velocity, and acceleration
w1 Universal principles?
use of stretch shorten cycle
Internal forces – load
load is greater then our tissue strength it causes injury
Perfect elastic?
no loss of kinetic energy
Imperfectly elastic?
most collisions is that
Energy?
whenever work is done to an object it gains mechanical energy
Mechanical advantage?
it is the ratio of the effort arm to the resistance arm
w1 Grouped principle?
stability
