This document discusses various topics related to motion and its applications in health sciences. It describes a treadmill and how it provides an efficient aerobic workout by controlling speed and incline. It then explains how a medical ventilator works by mechanically breathing for patients unable to do so themselves. It also discusses force in physics and its application to CPR, where force is applied to the chest to compress the heart and breathe for the victim. Massage therapy and acupuncture are also summarized, where massage manipulates soft tissues and acupuncture places fine needles into points to rebalance energy flow for healing.

1. MOTION AND ITS APPLICATIONS
TO HEALTH SCIENCES

2. MOTION
 In PHYSICS, motion is a change in position of
an object with respect to time and its reference
point. Motion is typically described in terms of
displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time.

3. THREADMILL

4. One of the most popular types of home exercise
equipment is the treadmill, which provides a
straightforward, efficient aerobic workout.
For many, treadmills are a good choice to begin a
new exercise routine because walking is well tolerated
by most individuals regardless of fitness level and for
most back conditions.
As strength and endurance are developed, the
treadmill can be used for jogging and/or for interval
training.

5. ADVANTAGES TO USING A TREADMILL
 All aspects of the workout can be controlled by
the user: speed, incline, warm up period, cool
down period, and energy spend
 Some treadmills have special features such as
step counters and heart rate monitors so fitness
progress can be tracked.
 Running on a treadmill generally burns calories
faster than most other forms of in-home
exercise, such as biking.

6. MEDICAL VENTILLATOR

7. A medical ventilator is a machine designed to
mechanically move breatheable air into and out of the
lungs, to provide the mechanism of breathing for a
patient who is physically unable to breathe, or breathing
insufficiently.
How Does a Ventilator Work?
Ventilators blow air—or air with extra oxygen—into
the airways and then the lungs. The airways are pipes
that carry oxygen-rich air to your lungs. They also carry
carbon dioxide, a waste gas, out of your lungs.

8. FORCE AND ITS
APPLICATION TO
HEALTH SCIENCES

9. Force, in physics, any action or influence
that accelerates an object. Force is a vector, which
means that it has both direction and magnitude.
When several forces act on an object, the forces
can be combined to give a net force.

10. CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR)

11. CPR is performed when breathing or heart
beating stops or slows severely.
CPR involves applying force to the chest to
compress the heart and breathing into the mouth.

12. If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing
or moving, begin chest compressions.
Push down in the center of the chest 2 inches 30
times. Pump hard and fast at the rate of at least
100/minute, faster than once per second.

13. Tilt the head back and lift the chin. Pinch nose
and cover the mouth with yours and blow until you
see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths. Each breath
should take 1 second.

14. MASSAGE THERAPY

15. Massage therapy is the scientific manipulation
of the soft tissues of the body for the purpose of
normalizing those tissues and consists of manual
techniques that include applying fixed or movable
pressure, holding, and/or causing movement of or to
the body.
Generally, massage is known to affect the
circulation of blood and the flow of blood and lymph,
reduce muscular tension or flaccidity, affect the
nervous system through stimulation and enhance
tissue healing.

16. ACUPUNCTURE

18. Acupuncture involves the placing of very
fine needles, no bigger than the diameter of a
human hair, into specific points on the body in
order to rebalance the flow of energy and
increase the effectiveness of the body's own
natural healing mechanism.
