16 Questions
What is the difference between kinematics and kinetics?
Kinematics studies motion without considering the forces involved, while kinetics studies the forces causing motion.
What are the cardinal planes in human motion?
Frontal, sagittal, and transverse planes
What do medial and lateral refer to in anatomy?
Medial refers to movement towards the midline, while lateral refers to movement away from the midline.
What is the difference between flexion and extension?
Flexion decreases the angle between body parts, while extension increases it.
What is the main focus of biomechanics?
Mechanics of movement
What type of system is a bike in motion?
Dynamic system
What does the term 'qualitative' refer to in biomechanics?
Focuses on quality and descriptions
Which motion involves lateral flexion?
Shaking head yes
What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative in biomechanics?
Qualitative focuses on quality, while quantitative focuses on quantity.
What are the cardinal planes in human motion?
Sagittal, Frontal, Horizontal
What is the difference between center of gravity and center of mass?
Center of gravity accounts for weight distribution, while center of mass considers mass distribution.
What is eccentric force in biomechanics?
Force applied away from the body's center
What is the difference between kinematics and kinetics?
Kinematics studies motion without considering its causes, while kinetics focuses on the forces causing the motion.
What is the difference between static and dynamic systems?
Static systems are unchanging or in equilibrium, while dynamic systems involve movement.
What does the term 'mechanics' mean?
Mechanics involves the study of forces and their effects on bodies.
What does the term 'vector' refer to in biomechanics?
A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
