Biomechanics & Kinesiology

Advancements in Kinesiology & Biomechanics

The fields of biomechanics and kinesiology study the human movement patterns and related motor skills. The fields of biomechanics and kinesiology can be incredibly complex and so can the concepts of motor skills and movement patterns.

Biomechanics, Human Kinetics, and Kinesiology

• Biomechanics is the study of a living body and its mechanics. This includes the forces exerted by both gravity and muscles on the skeleton. (Biomechanics also called as human kinetics or kinesiology, and the three terms are often used synonymously.)
• Kinesiology is the study of body movement, especially in humans, and how it relates to the anatomy.
