motion of a body * movement arm : perpendicular distance
* musculoskeletal system may be thought from line of force
of as simple machines to increase * torque : rotational force
mechanical advantage (MA) * measurement : N m .
* machines function in 4 ways * All muscles produce torque about
1. balance multiple forces the joints they cross
force to reduce total
. enhance
2 * 3 ways to alter torque
force needed to overcome resistance lengthen force arm
. enhance ROM - speed so that

force Acceleration
* mechanical advantage * forces are responsible for accelerations
&
gained to increase/multiply an * for a force to cause acceleration
applied force the force :
* use a small force to move a * must overcome opposing forces
* metforce o > no motion
greater resistance
* if net force is
opposite
force the object will accelerate but
* linear motion will be in the opposite
