Biomechanics vs. Kinesiology
Anatomy vs. Functional Anatomy
Linear vs. Angular Motion
Kinematics vs. Kinetics
Biomechanics vs. Kinesiology
 Kinesiology:
 Scientific study of human movement
 Anatomical, physiological, psychological,
biomechanical
 Biomechanics:
 Application of mechanics to biological
systems
 More specific than kinesiology
Anatomy vs. Functional
Anatomy
 Anatomy
 Structure of the body
 Focus on structure
 Example: Study of biceps brachii
 Functional Anatomy
 Body components necessary to achieve
goal
 Focus on function
 Example: Analysis of bicep curl
Linear vs. Angular Motion
 Linear Motion
 AKA translation or translational motion
 Movement on straight or curved pathway
 All points move same distance, same time
 Angular Motion
 Motion around some point
Kinematics vs. Kinetics
 Both are biomechanical analyses
 Kinematics
 Examines space and time
 Kinetics
 Examines forces
Statics vs. Dynamics
 Statics



Examines systems not moving or moving at a
constant speed
Equilibrium: no acceleration
Example: Spaceship gliding through space
 Dynamics


Examines systems that are being accelerated
Example: Softball pitch
Stress-Strain Curve
 Stress (σ)
 Force applied to deform a structure
 Force per unit area

resulting from stress into the plastic region
