Exercise Biomechanics
Represents the human body as a mechanical
system or machine
Involves the application of physics and
engineering principles during analysis of
locomotion (walking, running, etc.), exercise,
athletic activities, and rehabilitation (PT, OT,
cardiac rehab.)

Course Content and Design
Based on a description and set of standards proposed
by the American Alliance of Physical Education,
Recreation, and Dance (AAHPERD) in 1991
Course Description: “An integrative, mechanistic study
of the biomechanics human motion during physical
activity and exercise: biology and mechanical
properties of the human movement system including
bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, skeletal muscle,
joints, and other whole body mechanisms are
investigated.”

Knowing the physical limitations of human
performance in outdoor recreation
Understanding the technical aspects of equipment
use and design
Complexity of Human
Movement
In order to understand the basics, we will
use the underlying principle of the
human body as a mechanical machine.
Human-made Machine
Human Machine
 Wears out with use
 May improve with use
 Must replace damaged
 Can repair itself
parts with new ones
 Designed for a limited
number of purposes
(within limits)
 IBM Deep Blue vs
Garry Kasparov (1997)
2-1-3
 Torn ligaments
 Damaged cartilage
 Compound fracture
 Capable of learning
(diversity of purposes)
Critical Thinking in Biomechanics:
Asking how…?
How do forces produced by muscles create
movement at the joints?
How are running shoes designed to reduce injury
and improve running performance?
How does joint cartilage act as a shock absorber?
How does genetics play a role in muscle power?
How do we design of prosthetics (artificial knee)
to optimize function?
Critical Thinking in Biomechanics:
Asking How…?
How?
Critical Thinking in Biomechanics:
Asking why, how …?
How do muscle forces create torque at
joints
The ability to produce rotation
Fm
joint
torque
Critical Thinking in Biomechanics:
Asking why, how …?
Why are rotator cuff injuries common in
swimming and in baseball/softball?
Why does a curve ball curve?
Why do joint sprains often take so long to heal?
Why are bone fractures common in the elderly?
Critical thinking is an important part of
biomechanical analysis
