Energy in Relation to Biomechanics Energy is a form of force (capacity to do work). Total energy expenditure and rate of energy expenditure (power output) are important considerations for exercise programs and training programs. Work done and the time taken to complete this work is the essence of power output i.e. power flow that is […]
The Goal of Biomechanics in Personal Training
The Role of Biomechanics Most biomechanics textbooks state there are two primary goals for biomechanics: performance enhancement, and injury prevention or rehabilitation. Biomechanics enhance performance by utilizing mechanical principles to improve an individual’s technique, the equipment they use, and to modify specific training protocols that the coach or trainer implements to help an individual achieve their […]
What is biomechanics?
What is Biomechanics? Biomechanics evaluates the motion of a living organism and the action of forces upon it. In the strength and conditioning, biomechanics can be looked at as the study of how the body moves and what causes movement either internally (via muscles) or externally (via external load or added weight bearing activities). Biomechanics […]
