The Basics of Biomechanics and Power The overall ideology of Biomechanics is the study of forces on the human body and their effect on movement. This subject is broken down into two major divisions: Kinesiology (The Study of Human Movement) Physics (Rigid Body Mechanics) The general definition of motion is the displacement (movement) of an […]
Common Sports and Training Injuries: The Shoulder
The Shoulder The shoulder joint is composed of three bones – the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone). Your shoulders are the most movable joints in your body and can also be unstable because the ball of the upper arm is larger than the shoulder socket that holds it. […]
Biomechanical Analysis: How to Maximize Performance & Minimize Injury
How do we use Biomechanical Analysis to Maximize Performance and Minimize Chance of Injury? There is a systematic thought process that every coach and personal trainer must utilize to ensure any person under their care is receiving optimal and maximal attention for every movement suggested. What do we Analyze? When we evaluate a trainee’s technique […]
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 […]
