Scientific Knowledge Base: Nature of Movement Body mechanics Coordinated efforts of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems Alignment and balance Also refers to posture Gravity Weight force exerted on the body Friction Force that occurs in a direction opposite to movement

Physiology and Regulation of Movements Skeletal system Provides attachments for muscles and ligaments and protects vital organs Provides leverage for movement Bones are long, short, flat, or irregular. Coordination and regulation of muscle groups depend on muscle tone; activity of antagonistic, synergistic, and antigravity muscles; and neural input to muscles.
