Kinesiology Dr.Scott Flashcards
Kinesiology?
The study of human motion.
kinesis- movement
Biomechanics?
the study of the mechanics of life.
mechanics- branch of physics concerned with the action of forces on matter or material systems.
Kinematics versus kinetics?
Kinematics- concerned with the description of motion
Kinetics- concerned with the actions of motion- explanation of motion
what is the relationship between kinesiology and biomechanics?
kinesiology is inclusive of the biomechanics of motion. BECAUSE motion is the result of FORCES.
Kinematics:
Types of Motion-
List 3 types and explain
- Rotary/ Angular - Motion of a body about a fixed axis in a curved path . Ex: ferris wheel, pendulum, bike’s wheel.
Dr. Scott said = Direction is the same, travel distance is not the same.
- Translatory-
linear- movement in a straight line- glide
curvilinear- everything move in same direction but in curve way. Is a combined rotary and translation. Moving axis of rotation.
Dr. Scott said = as i walked across the room, my head moves up and down.
- General Plane Motion- Multisegmental motion
- special case of curvilinear movement where object is segmented.
- object rotates about axis and is translated by adjacent segment.
In the human what type of motion occurs most often?
Joint level=
Functional level=
curvilinear
general plan motion

Kinetics: Concerned with the ____producing the ___ cause to move or at ___.
What is a force?
forces producing the motion , that cause to move or at rest
- push or pull exerted on one object by another. F=ma
What forces act on the human body?
list 2 and give examples
External Forces- outside the body. Originate from GRAVITY or External load

Defined by: list 3
Draw a force using all 3 listed above.
VECTORS, quantity that is completely specified by magnitude and direction.
-point of applicaiton, diretion/line of action, magnitude
(poa- base of vector arrow contacts the part of body, direction- indicated by arrowhead like upward is postive Y and downward is negative Y, and magnitude is the force vectors indicated by length of shaft of the arrow.
Gravity, attraction of an object to earth.
- Point of application- where the muscle inserts into the bone. JOINTS
- Center of mass= center of gravity, COG. Draw some.
= What is the magnitude?
formula
= What is the Direction?
= Line of Gravity= from ___ perpendicular to ____
Mass of object x 32 ft/sec square (F= ma)

Relocation of COG:
How would the following change the location of the COG in the body?
- bending over the wasit?
- pear shaped body?
- muscular upper body with small legs
- lower extremity bilateral amputee
- lower extremity unilateral amputee
- cast on right leg
- lower COG lower COG cog higher cog higher shift sideway cog, little higher cog shift right, little lower cog
stability and COG:
relationship between the location of COG and stability/balance?
Lower the COG , greater the stability because closer to BOS (base of support)
ex: clown toy, Dr. Scott said punch it, and it is still there.
Other forces affecting the body:
Reaction Forces , always come in pairs
Newton 3rd law- law of ___. Define and also give example
why are reaction forces important?
Every time you take a step forces are introduced from the ground to your body . AKA GROUND REACTION FORCES
Equlibrium:
Sum of ___ in all directions = __.
Forces are balanced/unbalanced?
Sum of torques in all directions = ___?
Torques are balanced
What is Torque? define and give example
Newton’s 1st Law= Law of ______(equilibrium). Define
***EQUILIBRIUM (STATICS) = rest/stationary
A stationary object does not move unless…
A moving object does not stop unless…
forces and torques , 0
balanced
–
Force that cause rotation/angular movement . Ex: unlock door.
Law of inertia. A body stay at rest stays at rest, body of movement, stays at movement unless an unbalanced force acts on it.
acted upon by a unbalanced force, acted upon a force
===book said, forces act upon an object are balanced but doesn’t mean all force are equal to each other.
If objects are not in equilibrium, what is happening?
- Accelerating up or down
- Newton’s 2nd law- Law of ____.
Give example to shows acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass.
A= F/M . Acceleration is proportional to ? and inverse to?
- DYNAMICS- Rule of motion
why study Dynamics?
law of Accerleration.
kick wall versus kick ball.
A=F/M. …proportional to the forces acting on it, inverse proportional to the object mass.
Static analysis often underestimates forces because it does not consider acceleration.
Concurrent Force systems
- Two or more forces acting at a ____ ____ application but in ____ direction.
- Know how to calculate when giving a scale of 1 in= 25 inches.
Why discussing concurrent force system?
- Occurs in the body all the time and
- among different muscle perform the same movement
- within the same muscle.
common point, different. Ex: tug or war. ….
non current force is like pedaling a bike, one foot push forward/the other pedal pushes backward.

3rd- most common in body
RA > EA
- spring closing a door/ hammer and nail. Biceps (EF) acting on forearm/wrist/hand (RF)
- M Ad less than 1
— effort force as compared to resistance.
What is Torque (moment of force) - ability of a force to cause ___. What do you need for torque to be generated? list 3
- how to calculate torque:
Example; how much torque is generated about your elbow by the weight of your forearm and hand (10 lbs)?
Torque formula = ?
What caused this torque about the elbow?
what is needed to counteract this torque?
look at notes for further example
rotation.
Need: force, lever, axis of rotation
–
example:
torque= Force x distance (shortest distance between the action line of applied force and AOR.
***** Moment Arm= where you measure 10 inches. Distance= distance from LOG to AOR perpendicular 90 degree).
Force = forearm and hand = 10 lbs
torque= 100 in/pounds
What caused this torque about the elbow?
-Gravity pulling on the hand and forearm
- moment of arm of gravity
what is needed to counteract this torque?
- muscular contraction and
- moment arm of muscle force
—->the elbow flexors must generate more than 100 in/lbs of torque to flex the elbow
