Functional BioMechanics
To understand how basic laws of mechanical physics and
engineering impact and shape the structure and function of the
human body
Mechanics: a branch of physics that documents motion
(kinematics) and the causes of motion (kinetics)
To apply this understanding to
improve the outcomes of our movements (i.e., performance
effectiveness) and
increase or maintain our safety and health.
Solve problems to
Enhance performance
Reduce injury
Evaluate the effectiveness of a movement
