Chapter 2Biomechanics
Center of Gravity That point at which stability may occur Weight is in the center of the body
The closer the center of gravity is to Base – more support Radius of rotation – faster the movement
Base of support Body part or parts that support the body
weight and the space between those body parts
Feet when standing Arms in handstand Butt when sitting
Motion an observable change in position of the
entire body or its parts
Sustained Percussive Translatory Rotatory Curvilinear
Sustained Motion Slow movement
Stretches
Percussive Motion Quick or rapid movement
Kick or punch
Translatory Motion Movement through a continuing plane
Ski jumper Sitting in moving car
Rotatory Motion Movement about or around a central
point
Spin on parallel bars
Longitudinal axis (right and left) Transverse axis (top and bottom) Sagittal axis (Front and back)
Curvilinear Motion Movement as a whole in a circular path
Somersault while in straight position
Axis A line through the center of gravity
around which rotation occurs
Force An influence that produces or tends to
produce motion or a change of motion
Muscular Frictional Gravitational
Friction The resistance of one surface to that of
another
Contact with another surface slows down the movement
Gravity The force of attraction that tends to pull
bodies or weight downward toward the Earth’s center
Always downwards
Newton's Laws of motion General principles governing the
movement of objects through space
Inertia Acceleration Action - Reaction
Inertia Properties remaining at rest or in motion
unless acted upon by an outside force.
Push to start Friction to stop
Acceleration Resulting change in speed is directly
proportional to the force producing it and inversely proportional to the mass
The tighter the tuck, the faster the spin.
Action - Reaction For every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction
