BIOMECHANICS
CHAPTER 1
major sub branches of mechanics
statics
study of system in state of constant motion, either rest or moving
dynamic
study of system in acceleration present
kinematics
appearance of motion
kinetics
study of forces associated with motion
Subtopic
kinesiology
study of human movement
sports medicine
encompasses both clinical and scientific aspects of exercise and sport
science involving study of biological systems from mechanical perspective
application of mechanical principles in study of living organisms
branch of physic involve action of forces, study anatomical and function aspects of living organism
problem solving approach
quantitative
implies number involved
qualitative
description quality without use numbers
improving human performance
