skill acquisition Flashcards
types of motion
linear motion, angular motion, axis of rotation, general motion
anatomical positions
flextion, extension, abduction, adduction
what are biomechanics
the science concerned with the internal and external forces acting on the human body and effect produced by those forces
what do biomechanics aim to do
develop efficient techniques of motor skills, enhance performance, modify equipment designs to increase participation
what is kinematics
the area of biomechanics that studies the description of motion
what is linear motion
motion in a straight line
what is angular motion
motion of all parts of the object moving around a fixed point
what is axis of rotation
the fixed point around which an object rotates
what is general motion
the combination of linear and angular motion
what is projectile motion
when the body moves through the air
factors that affect the projectile motion
velocity of release, height of release, angle of release, shape, air resistance, spin
what is kinetics
the area of biomechanics that studies influence on the movement of the body
what is mass
the amount of matter that makes up an object
what is force
pushing or pulling effect of a body that can cause change
what is newtons first law of motion (inertia)
the body continues in its state of rest or state of motion unless acted upon force
