Mechanical aspect of movement
apply principles of motion and stability
What interacts with human movement
Physics
human movement takes place in an environment governed by laws of physics
Interactions with physics chances as
constraints change
why do constraints change?
humans are constantly calibrating and re calibrating movements in response to physical forces
how can human movement take advantage of physics
skill proficiency often takes advantage of physical laws
same size and strength, one can throw further because they know to use the principles of motion and stability
technique
Key ideas of taking advantage of physics
all the body parts/joints that can be used and full ROM
balance
ability to maintain equalibrium, even in an unstable position
stability
ability to resist movement/loss of balance
does stability= balance
no
What determines who will fall first?
COM inside or outside of support
stability depends on (3)
area of base of support
height of centre of gravity
proximity of centre of gravity
centre of gravity
concentration point of earth’s gravitational pull
can be inside or outside of body
within or outside of base of support
To increase stability (2)
trade off?
increase base of support
lower centre of gravity
trade off of losing mobility
Newton’s first law
inertia
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by another force
Resistance to motion is related to mass
One can increase base of support by
Increase base of support which reduce time it takes to regain balance
Avoid extraneous movement (movement that do not play into desired movement)
Increased support will
May sometimes increase stability
Improvements in strength, coordination, proprioception and reaction time allow
Narrower base of support
Increases mobility
Simplified Newton’s first law
We just exert force to move object and ourselves
More inertia means its harder to move, more force application is needed and harder to stop moving object
To move objects further or faster 2
Increased force and distance over which force is applied
To add distance
Increase step length (linear distance) increase ROM (rotational force)
Second law 4
Acceleration of an object depends on mass
Size of mass applied to it
Direction of force applied to it
Acceleration proportional to force applied to it and inversely proportional to mass
Force is related to
Mass and acceleration
Acceleration is related to
Force applied and inversely related to mass
A person can only exert a given amount of force, given a constant force level, how could you increase acceleration when throwing a ball
Increase disincentive over which force is applied
