Biomechanics
What is Biomechanics?
This is the study of forces and their effects on living systems.
what is kinesiology?
the scientific study of human body movement.
what is anatomy?
Anatomy is the foundation of kinesiology.
what muscles are activated by squatting?
leg muscles including: glutes,hamstrings, quadriceps,and calves / legs or lower body
This is the term for how your body moves.
movement
This part of the body acts as a lever during movement, helping muscles produce force and motion.
This type of muscle tissue is under voluntary control and is responsible for body movement.
skeletal muscle
This organ pumps blood throughout the body.
Heart
Muscles activated by benching
bicep, tricep, chest / upper body
This type of exercise helps improve your heart and lungs.
cardiovascualar excersize
This force opposes motion between two surfaces and plays a key role in walking and running.
friction
This part of the body connects muscles to bones.
Tendon
This muscle group extends the knee joint.
Quadriceps
what muscle and tendons are activated when running
calf, achilles
This is the name for the ability to move a joint through its full range.
flexibility
This term refers to the study of the mechanical laws relating to the movement or structure of living organisms.
Biomechanics
This type of movement increases the angle between two bones, like straightening your arm.
extension
This system controls body functions by sending electrical signals through nerves.
The nervous system
This exercise mainly works your shoulder muscles.
shoulder press
This is how your body stays balanced when you move.
stability
This type of movement decreases the angle between two bones, like when you bend your elbow.
Flexion
This system in the body provides the framework for movement by supporting muscles and protecting organs.
Skeletal system
What are the 3 major areas of anatomy?
The skeletal system (bones)
The muscular system (muscles)
The nervous system (nerve control of muscles)
This pulling exercise mostly works the big muscles in your back.
pull up
These are parts of your body that help you bend and straighten.
