Kinesiology – The Science of Movement • Kinein – to move • Logos – to discourse or study in a scientific manner
Represents 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 Design • Based 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.”
Skeletal muscle - driving force & power Connective tissue Bones Tendons Ligaments Cartilage Fascia - skeletal muscle Guidance system - receptors (ex. muscle spindles) Processors (brain, spinal cord, motorneurons) The Human Mechanical System(Human Movement System)

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 Machine Wears out with use Must replace damaged parts with new ones Designed for a limited number of purposes IBM Deep Blue vs Garry Kasparov (1997) 2-1-3 Human Machine May improve with use Can repair itself (within limits) Torn ligaments Damaged cartilage Compound 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 why, how …? • How do muscle forces create torque at joints • The ability to produce rotation Fm joint 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 Plato • Founded own school (lyceum) • Wrote extensively on philosophy, politics, logic, natural sciences, and physics • Much of his complete works were lost • Pictured 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 • Scientist • Anatomist (one of the first scientists to make a detailed record of human dissections) • Detailed descriptions of design of skeleton • Illustrated muscle origins and insertions
Historical Timeline • Sir Isaac Newton (1643 – 1727) • Developed basic Laws of Motion • Invented calculus • Developed the theory of gravity which was held until updated by Einstein’s theories • Founder of the Royal Academy of Sciences • Despite his contributions to science, Newton’s primary investigations were into Biblical text
Historical Timeline • Thomas 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.”
