Kinein – to move

Logos – to discourse or study in a scientific manner

Exercise BiomechanicsRepresents the human body as a mechanical system or machine

Involves the application of physics and engineering principles during analysis of locomotion (walking, running, etc.), exercise, athletic activities, and rehabilitation (PT, OT, cardiac rehab.)

Course Content and DesignBased on a description and set of standards proposed by the American Alliance of Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (AAHPERD) in 1991

Course Description: “An integrative, mechanistic study of the biomechanics human motion during physical activity and exercise: biology and mechanical properties of the human movement system including bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, skeletal muscle, joints, and other whole body mechanisms are investigated.”

The Human Mechanical System(Human Movement System)

Skeletal muscle - driving force & power

Connective tissueBonesTendonsLigamentsCartilageFascia - skeletal muscle Guidance system - receptors (ex. muscle spindles)

Processors (brain, spinal cord, motorneurons)

Using Exercise Biomechanics

*Optimizing performance, health benefits of exerciseMinimizing chronic disease risk, physical

fitness, brain development/preservationDoing our best in athletic events

Playing safePre-hab: preparing connective tissues, muscleRe-hab: promoting recovery after injury

Applications – Outdoor Education/Recreation

Knowing the physical limitations of human performance in outdoor recreation

Understanding the technical aspects of equipment use and design

Complexity of Human Movement

In order to understand the basics, we will use the underlying principle of the human body as a mechanical machine.

Human-made MachineWears out with useMust replace damaged

parts with new onesDesigned for a limited

number of purposes IBM Deep Blue vs

Garry Kasparov (1997)

Human MachineMay improve with useCan repair itself

(within limits)Torn ligamentsDamaged cartilageCompound fracture

Capable of learning (diversity of purposes)

Critical Thinking in Biomechanics: Asking how…?

How do forces produced by muscles create movement at the joints?

How are running shoes designed to reduce injury and improve running performance?

How does joint cartilage act as a shock absorber?

How does genetics play a role in muscle power?

How do we design of prosthetics (artificial knee) to optimize function?

Critical Thinking in Biomechanics: Asking How…?

How?

Critical Thinking in Biomechanics: Asking why, how …?

How do muscle forces create torque at jointsThe ability to produce rotation

torque

Critical Thinking in Biomechanics: Asking why, how …?

Why are rotator cuff injuries common in swimming and in baseball/softball?

Why does a curve ball curve?

Why do joint sprains often take so long to heal?

Why are bone fractures common in the elderly?

Critical thinking is an important part of biomechanical analysis

Historical Timeline

Aristotle (382 – 322 BC)Student of PlatoFounded own school (lyceum)Wrote extensively on philosophy, politics,

logic, natural sciences, and physicsMuch of his complete works were lostPictured the human body as a machine:

muscles cause an action which moves the bones at the joints

Historical Timeline

Leonardo DaVinci (1452 – 1519) Artist

Mona Lisa, Last Supper

ScientistAnatomist (one of the first scientists to make

a detailed record of human dissections)Detailed descriptions of design of skeletonIllustrated muscle origins and insertions

Historical Timeline

Sir Isaac Newton (1643 – 1727)Developed basic Laws of MotionInvented calculusDeveloped the theory of gravity which was

held until updated by Einstein’s theoriesFounder of the Royal Academy of SciencesDespite his contributions to science,

Newton’s primary investigations were into Biblical text

Historical TimelineThomas Alva Edison (from Menlo Park, NJ)

1093 inventions including:

the electric light bulb, voice transmitter (amplifier), answering machine, and phonograph

Invented motion pictures in 1888 He used a roll of film called a kinetoscope

Quote from Edison: “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.”
