The Body in Motion. Influences on Movement
Description
How can biomechanical principles be used to enhance physical performance? This program explains how to calculate velocity, acceleration, and momentum involving major types of bodily motion; distinguishes between two types of balance while discussing the concept of center of gravity and showing how to calculate force; and investigates the principles of fluid mechanics, including buoyancy, displacement, and resistance. Chapters include Introduction, What Structures Assist the Body to Move?, What Is Motion?, Balance and Stability, May the Force Be with You, Sink or Swim, and Conclusion.
