Intro to Kinesiology
What is kinesiology?
study of movement
What is COM? Where is it typically on the body?
Center of Mass. Anterior to sacrum
What are the two study of mechanics?
Kinematics and Kinetics
Describe Kinematics motion. The two main types? And then branch off, what's under those two main types? And act out the actions of each
Translation and Rotation
Translation is linear motion which has rectilinear and curvilinear
Rectilinear - pushing a box, walking straight, 100m sprint....
Curvilinear - throwing a ball, walking but the head motion...
Rotation is angular motion - the ball spinning..
What are we assuming with angular motion?
Rigid body moves in a circular path around a pivot point aka axis of rotation
