What happens when you move the point of force
application?
Causes of Motion
MOMENT (N*m): cause of angular rotation
Force (N) applied a perpendicular distance (m)
from the axis of rotation.

Axis of Rotation: Center of Mass
Center of Mass (CM, CoG, TBCM)
• The balance point of an object
Object of uniform density;
CM is located at the Geometric Center
Axis of Rotation: Center of Mass
Center of Mass (CM, CoG, TBCM)
• The balance point of an object
Object of non-uniform density;
CM is dependent upon mass distribution & segment
orientation / shape.
Axis of Rotation: TBCM
CM location is dependent upon mass distribution
& segment orientation
Moments are taken about the total body center
of mass.

Angular Impulse
Moment applied over a
period of time
Mcm t = Icm 
Angular Impulse taken about an object’s CM
= the object’s change in angular momentum
Angular Momentum - the quantity of angular motion
Mcm = Icm 
Mcm = Icm  / t
Mcm t = Icm 
where Icm = moment of inertia, resistance to rotation about
the CM
Note: The total angular momentum about the TBCM remains
constant. An athlete can control their rate of rotation
(angular velocity) by adjusting the radius of gyration,
distribution (distance) of segments relative to TBCM.

Right-hand Rule: used to determine moment direction
Static Equilibrium: M = 0
Center of Mass (CM, TBCM)
– balance point of an object
– Position dependent upon mass distribution & segment
orientation
• At the total-body level, moment created by the GRF’s taken about
TBCM. Where moment arm length = perpendicular distance from
CP location to TBCM location (dx & dy)
• Moments are generated to satisfy the mechanical demands of a
given task (total body, joint level, etc)
