Inspiration vs. Expiration Inspiration ​ Active ​ the process of air entering the lungs ​ volume of thoracic cavity increases when the lungs inhale and muscles contract ​ thoracic pressure decreases Expiration ​ Passive ​ the process of air leaving the lungs ​ Volume of thoracic cavity decreases when the lungs exhale air and muscles relax ​ thoracic pressure increases Responses of the cardiorespiratory system to exercise Short-Term Adaptations: ​ increased heart rate, increased cardiac output, and increased blood pressure (stronger systolic contraction) ​ increased breathing rate and volume (increased cardiorespiratory load and increased ATP availability) Long-Term Adaptations: ​ higher peak cardiac output ​ higher blood volume and capacity/afficiency to O2 ​ more efficient gas exchange in lungs Chapter 7 - Biomechanical Principles Biomechanics: the application of principles of mechanics to the study of living systems. Mechanics: the interaction between forces and objects. Description of position and degrees of freedom Position: linear and 3D Orientation: angular and 3D **Figures 7.2 and 7.3** Newtons Laws of force and motion First Law (law of Inertia): “statics” ​ An object remains in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted on by a change of force. ​ Static = when an object is moving at a constant velocity (even zero) Second Law (law of Momentum and Force): “dynamics” ​ the change of motion of an object is proportional to the force impressed. ​ F = ma (momentum: mostly constant, acceleration: change in velocity) ​ Dynamic = when an object is changing velocity due to the application of some applied force. Third Law (law of Reaction): ​ To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction. ​ When two objects interact, each will experience the same applied force but the directions will be completely opposite Definition of Force ​ causes an object to change velocity (accelerate or decelerate) ○​ Static: acceleration = 0 ○​ Dynamic: acceleration = 0 ​ measured in Newtons (N) ​ Ex. Friction or human jumping Definition of Torque (Moment) ​ a force that causes an object to rotate (affected by BOTH force & distance) ​ Torque = force x moment arm (units = Nm) ​ Moment Arm: perpendicular distance from the force to the axis of rotation at a body joint ​ Ex. Pedalling a bicycle or rotation of hand Components of a Lever System Force (effort): forces generated by muscle tension Load (resistance): forces from external environment Fulcrum (pivot): point of rotation or joint Lever Systems First-Class Lever: ​ effort and load on opposite sides of joint ​ Ex. Neck flexion/extension Second-Class Lever: ​ load and effort on same side ​ effort force has LARGER Moment Arm (mechanical advantage) ​ Ex. Ankle plantarflexion/dorsiflexion Third-Class Lever: ​ load and effort on same side ​ effort force has SMALLER Moment Arm (mechanical disadvantage) ​ Ex. Elbow flexion Forces Related to Human Movement Internal Forces: “Effort” ​ muscle tension ​ pressure (thoracic pressure) ​ tendon/ligament tension (ACL) ​ compression of a joint (meniscus) External Forces: “Resistance” ​ gravitational force (weight) ​ friction/resistance forces ​ momentum ​ reaction forces Acute Vs. Chronic Injuries Acute: occur from a single force applied to a biological tissue that exceeds its predefined tissue tolerance Ex. Tendon strain Chronic: occur from sustained low-force exposures that cause the tissue tolerance to degrade over time Ex. Golfers elbow **Figure 7.9** Free-Body Diagrams ​ A common tool used by biomechanics to quantify the exposure of body segments to internal and external forces and moments Information Provided From Different Data For FBD: Kinematics ​ position, velocity & acceleration of body & location of an applied force Kinetics ​ magnitude & direction of an applied force Anthropometrics ​ Where in the arm is the Center of mass? ​ Where do muscles attach? **Figure 7.10** Chapter 8 - The Control of Human Movement **Figure 8.2. Receptor classification by cell type** Location-Based Classifications Exteroceptor: coding for changes in our external environment (vision, hearing, smell, taste) Interoceptor: coding for changes in our internal environment (hunger, pain, pressure) Proprioceptor: codes for body pose or position Function-Based Classifications Chemoreceptor: ​ presence of a chemical or molecule ​ Ex.
