Resource summary
Basic Concepts of Biomechanics
Newtons 3 Laws of Motions
1st Law
An object remains in a state of rest unless acted upon by an external force
2nd Law
When a force acts upon an object the motion experience is proportionate to the size of the force and in the direction applied
3rd Law
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Types of Motion
Linear
When an object moves in a straight line with all its parts moving the same
Angular
When a body or part of body moves in a circle about a point
General
General motion is a combo of both angular and linear motion
Centre Of Mass
An imaginary point where all of your points of your body are equal
Stability
Stability is dependent on the center of mass being directly above the base of support
Force
5) Can be used to change the shape of a body
1) Can be used to make a body move at rest
3) Can be used to make a moving body slow down or stop moving
4) Can be used to make a moving body accelerate
2) Can be used to make a moving body change direction
The force that acts must be large enough to overcome the inertria of the body
The Effect of a force (SAD)
Depends on the SIZE of the force (weight) The force that muscle can exert is governed by the size and number of muscle fibres
Depends on where you APPLY the force, if its place off the centre of mass then angular motion will be produced
Depends on the DIRECTION of the force. If applied through the centre of mass then the body will move in the same direction as the force
