• Biomechanics is the science which studies structures and functions of biological systems using the knowledge and methods of mechanics.
• Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of biological systems by means of the methods of mechanics.
• Biomechanics is the science that examines the forces acting upon and within a biological structure and effects produced by such forces.
• Reaction Time and Movement time are important aspects of game time in sports.
• 100 kg vs 200 kg – which object is more difficult to move?
• Anthropometry of athletes is a crucial aspect of sports equipment design.
• Use metrics – 1 kg = 2.2 lbs.
• Motion in sports is described completely with length (space) and time.
• Mass is the amount of matter in the object and it never changes in anywhere in the universe.
• A health professional (clinician) may assess the accurate status of patients’ movement disorders and provide the right rehab treatment in order to improve their health condition.
• Weight is a measurement of force (gravity) so your weight (newton) can be different in the universe such as the earth and moon.
• Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its motion, with mass being the measure of inertia.
• A biomechanics researcher may discover a new and more effective technique for performing a sport skill.
• Units used in sports can be in inches, feet, yard or miles, but it's more beneficial to use metrics such as 1 meter = 3.28ft / 39 in.
• Teachers and coaches use their knowledge of mechanics to correct actions of a student or athlete in order to improve the execution of a skill.
• Kinematics is a branch of biomechanics that studies the motion of bodies without considering the forces that cause the motion.
• Velocity & Acceleration is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the speed and change in speed of the body.
• Linear Force is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the physical push or pull on an object.
• Distance is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the physical distance between parts of the body.
• Body is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the physical structure of the human body.
• Movement is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the changes in the body's position, posture, and orientation.
• Biomechanics is the science which considers the applications of classical mechanics to the analysis of biological and physiological systems.
• Bone / Segments is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the bones and segments of the human body.
• Force is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the physical push or pull on an object.
• Moto unit is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the motor unit.
• Electromyogram is a method used in biomechanics to record the electrical activity of muscles.
• Applying the principles of mechanics to living organisms is the study of biomechanics.
• Kinetics is a branch of biomechanics that studies the forces that cause motion.
• Pressure distribution is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the distribution of pressure on the body.
• Moment / Torque is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the rotational force on an object.
• Proportion is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the relative size or position of parts of the body.
• Neuromuscular Activity is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the activity of the muscles and nerves.
• Anthropometry is the study of the movement of living organisms.
• Angle is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the angular position of parts of the body.
• Structures is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the structures of the human body.
• Action Potentials is a concept in biomechanics that refers to the action potentials.
• Forces enable us to walk, run, change directions, and stand still.
• Forces are exerted by objects on other objects.
• Forces come in pairs: action and reaction.
• A force accelerates an object.
