WEEK.1-3: BASIC TERMINOLOGY

Biomechanics, Mechanics, Dynamics, Statics, Kinematics, Kinetics and anthropometries, Scope of scientific inquiry addressed by biomechanics, Difference between quantitative and qualitative approach for analyzing human movements and Biomechanics of human bone growth and development.

Study of the structure and function of biological systems such as humans, animals, plants, organs, and cells by means of methods of mechanics.

The word "biomechanics" (1899), that related "biomechanical" (1856) from Ancient Greek βίος bios "life" and, mēchanikē "mechanics", refer to the study of the mechanical principles of living organisms, particularly their movement and structure.
