3. •Kinesiology:
Kinesiology Vs Biomechanics: •Biomechanics:
- Definition:
study of motion or human movement.
- Origins:
Greek Word – Kinesis “to move” and
ology “to study”.
- Definition:
application of mechanical physics to
human motion
- Origins:
Greek Word – Bio "life" and mechanics
“to refer to the study of the
mechanical principles”.

Who needsKinesiology ?

5. • We study kinesiology to improve
performance by learning how to
analyze the movements of the human
body and to discover their underlying
principles.
Why Kinesiology? • It should enable them to help their
students or clients perform with
optimum Safety, Effectiveness, and
Efficiency (SEE).

• The Human Movement System:
o Passive Subsystem
(Bones, Joints)
o Active Subsystem
(Muscles)
o Neural Subsystem
(Nerves)
Musculoskeletal System:

9. Skeletal System:
• These bones are arranged into
two major divisions:
o Axial Skeleton
- Skull
- Rib cage
- Vertebral Column
o Appendicular Skeleton
- Upper limb
- Lower Limb
Types of Bones:

10. • Articulation - connection of bones at a
joint usually to allow movement
between surfaces of bones.

21. Skeletal Muscles:
• Responsible for movement of body
and all its joints
• Muscle contraction produces force
that causes joint movement
• Muscles also provide
– protection
– posture and support
– produce a major portion of total body heat
Skeletal Muscles:
• Muscles are connected to
bones using Tendons.
• When the Muscles contract,
they Pull on the bone they
are connected to.

Scapula.

Scapula.

24. MuscleTerminology:
• Biceps Brachii M.:
▪ Action:
• Flexion Elbow Joint
▪ Nerve Supply:
• Musculocutaneous n.

25. The nervoussystem:
• The nervous system is the
master controlling and
communicating system of
the body. Its cells
communicate by electrical
and chemical signals, which
are rapid and specific, and
usually cause almost
immediate responses.

26. Functionsofthe NervousSystem:
• Ex: You are driving and see
a red light ahead (sensory
input). Your nervous
system integrates this
information (red light
means “stop”), and your
foot goes for the brake
(motoroutput).
