It is the study and science of how biological organisms' systems and structures react to external forces and stimuli.

• Biomechanics

• Health related fitness

• Skill related fitness

• Movement

It is the science of movement of a living body, including how muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments work together to produce movement.

• Movement

• Biomechanics

• Motion

• Skill related fitness

It is part of the larger field of kinesiology, specifically focusing on the mechanics of the movement.

• Movement

• Motion

• Biomechanics

• Balance

In biomechanics, there are five (5) important elements or components:

• Motion, Force, Momentum, Levers, Balance

• Kineitic, Kinematics, Static, Dynamic, Biomechanic

• 1st law, 2nd law, and 3rd law of motion

• None of the above

The movement of a body or an object across space. Speed and acceleration are major elements of motion.

• Biomechanics

• Motion

• Momentum

• Balance

This is the push or pull that causes a person or an object to accelerate, decelerate, stop, or change direction.

• Force

• Agility

• Balance

• Motion

This is the product of a weight and its velocity when it is moved.

• Motion

• Movement

• Force

• Momentum

Our arms and legs function as levers; a lever has three parts: the resistance arm, the fulcrum, and the axis of rotation.

• Biomechanics

• Levers

• Movement

• Force

The alignment of the body's center of gravity over the base of support is a fundamental principle.

• Agility

• Balance

• Momentum

• Motion

Many recreational and physical activities necessitate a good sense of ________

• Force

• Balance

• Motion

• Movement
