How can we use biomechanical principles to enhance performance? Trained athletes, fitness fanatics, and casual exercisers alike can all benefit from an understanding of biomechanics. In this program we see the main types of motion in action and learn how to calculate velocity, acceleration and momentum. We examine the two types of balance, discover the importance of knowing your centre of gravity and learn how to calculate force. We also explore the principles of fluid mechanics, including buoyancy, displacement and resistance. This is an action-packed, insightful examination of the mechanics of our bodies in motion.
