Document Summary

Kinesiology: the study of human movement from the point of view of the physical sciences. The science involving the study of biological systems from a mechanical perspective. The study of the effects & control of forces that act on & are produced by living bodies. Concerns the equilibrium of bodies under the action of forces: dynamics: branch of mechanics dealing with systems subject to acceleration. Kinematics: study of the description of motion, including considerations of space & time. Study of the motion of bodies w/o reference to forces that cause the motion. Kinetics: study of the forces associated with motion. 3 general areas of study bodies to the resulting motion: describing movement & determining how it is produced, ex. Human gait, sport performance, robotics: assessing how tissues are injured/how injuries can be prevented, ex. Tissue loading, prosthetics, osteoarthritis: determining how performance can be optimized, ex.
