2. Biomechanics Bio = body Mechanics = workings
Biomechanics is the study of how and what makes the body move.

3. Biomechanical Terms

4. Force The pushing or pulling action that on object applies to another.
Gravity
Wind
Water
Mass

5. Mass
The weight of a force or object applied to another object.

6. Speed The rate at which a body moves from one point to another.
S = D / T

7. Acceleration Is the rate at which speed changes with respect to time.
V1 – V2 / time = a

8. Inertia
Inertia is a body's resistance to change in motion and it relates to the mass of the body.
For example a medicine ball will have more inertia than a ping pong ball.
