What is Biomechanics?

[@DrJacobGoodin]

You know what else biomechanics plays a huge role in? Strength training! Check out my video on the Scientific Principles of Strength Training here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jl7dgmiegKeSfZo Move well, live well, and teach others to do the same! Dr. Goodin

I started an MA in osteopathy and when I was diving deeper into biomechanics, I found your channel. What a blessing. Finally some good science and very well explained. I wish your channel never ending growth! Well done

[@mikestatz5098]

interesting how biomechanics fits into so many different fields.

[@tsalazar0020]

I like how you were able to show how many fields applied biomechanics is a part of. I did not realize it is such a large subject within the field of kinesiology.

[@rebekahsprlyan6982]

I’m doing a biomechanics unit this semester to help me get back into occupational therapy and it will give me better grounding!

[@lilyhodgins9140]

Can't wait to learn how to further apply these principles to improve my exercise techniques

[@peytonyoshida7500]

I liked how you emphasized the significance of the subject as it ties into nearly every other kinesiology discipline.

[@oliviadyck510]

Very well done and easy to understand video! I am nervous for this class because I don't like/am not good at physics and math, but hearing how biomechanics breaks down and relates to every field of Kinesiology makes me excited to learn more!

[@DrJacobGoodin]

You can do it!

[@alexcarr7640]

Biomechanics can be put into so much of everyday life.

[@maurotesta59]

Perfect analysis of Biomechanics science from my humble point of view. Congratulations and thank you, I will use your presentation to explain what the biomechanics does in a country like mine where he is practically unknown. I would like to underline that in my opinion it is a preventive science that studies the physiological mechanisms that determine an injury such as functional limitations in movement and that to do this we need to be able to go on the field where the athlete performs and trains. Thanks again

[@karimatthewsnc7838]

Thanks for all your videos--I can already tell your channel will be one of my absolute go-to's as I'm working on my degree and beyond. Much appreciated!

[@danielleharrison8440]

I am starting my biomechanics class Tuesday, this video definitely helped me to understand, thank you

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Thank you!

[@nicolelewis3329]

I enjoyed applying the study of biomechanics and its relevance to different fields of profession. I did not realize how prevalent it is in so many popular areas of interest for my peers in undergrad!

Very excited to learn the mechanical structure of how the body moves in motion

[@bahijsaid4040]

Great job on making this video. Our teacher made a whole assignment based off of this. Great informational instruction.

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Awesome! Thank you for the kind words Bahij! Please send your teacher my regards. All of us educators are working hard through this time to produce and find good material for our students.

[@isabellecousineau302]

I thought it was really interesting to see how biomechanics plays a role in so many different fields in kinesiology.

[@promiserobinson5113]

This is a great, well-informed video. Hearing how you broke down the definition of biomechanics and how it relates to other fields in kinesiology, helped me to get a deeper understanding of the field. Thank you!

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Thank you for the feedback Promise. I'm glad it was helpful for you!

[@MadeinChinakiki]

Thanks for embracing diversity in this video, very much appreciated.

[@danielerossi3241]

Beautiful explanation of biomechanics!! Thanks for this video Dr Goodin. Subscribed!

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Right on Daniele! Thanks for watching.

[@basiccomponents]

This was exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

[@dimitricarrion105]

I liked the kinetic perspective example that you used of the basketball player spraining their ankle

[@cassandraalviz1675]

I love learning about how biomechanics is applied in sports (especially enjoy hearing about gymnastics!)

[@amandahoward788]

never knew how biomechanics can be so useful! :)

[@anthonydumas6641]

The examples you gave for open loop and closed loop were super helpful to understand those types of motor control. Also the "kinematic vs kinetic" examples were very helpful in differentiating the two terms.

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Great to hear Anthony!

[@sydneyspradley5289]

woah! look at that sick intro Dr. Goodin!

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Just trying to have a little fun with these videos I have to make since we can't all meet together in person ;)

[@georgioskoktsidis6690]

Great video thank you very much.

[@muskduh]

thanks for the video

[@ethancntower8850]

Hi Dr.Goodin! Thank you for the informative video. I'm interested in how limb length, bone size, tendon attachments etc affect strength and power. What field of study should I look into? Thx!

[@bloovboi4260]

How would I need to get in a biomechanics class in college? Would I need to take physics in high school first?

[@DrJacobGoodin]

If you are in a kinesiology or exercise science major, then biomechanics is usually part of the curriculum or will at least be an elective. Taking physics in HS and knowing calc would be a great way ensure that you are successful in the course, but is usually not a prerequisite.

[@Primape92]

Just a question. Your job titles read “professor, sport scientist and strength coach.” Can you briefly describe the actual activities of each job? And how do each of the 3 get you income (of the ones that do, anyway)?

[@DrJacobGoodin]

That's a great Q Mikey. I'm a professor of kinesiology, and part of my position stipulates that I conduct student-partnered research. For this research I've launched an athlete monitoring program that now works with our athletic teams and integrates with our sport performance staff. Finally, aside from coaching/teaching hands-on skills such as weightlifting technique to my students, I do one-on-one remote coaching and sport science consulting on the side. But I also have 10 years of coaching experience split between track & field and strength and conditioning at the HS, NAIA, and DI levels. That's a mouthful though so I shorten it to prof, sport scientist, & coach 🤓

[@Primape92]

@@DrJacobGoodin and when you say "research," does it have to meet a certain criteria? Is someone setting the standard for this research?

[@Primape92]

@@DrJacobGoodin or rather is it corporations you're associated with that you give your research TO and for the time being you're associated with said company you get like a weekly or bi-weekly set payment or something like that?

[@anit9189]

hello Mr Goodin ,don't you continue the Biomechanics series? I just see 14 video about it .it must be more isn't it?

[@DrJacobGoodin]

more coming this summer!

[@GoldenMan1002]

What is the difference between Biomechanica and Biomimetics?

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Biomechanics is the study of movement and forces in the human body. In other words it is physics applied to the body with applications to many fields. Biomimetics is the application of biological knowledge to complex human problems. Or using the wisdom of nature to create novel synthetic technology

[@TrainingbyJovy]

Great video! Thank you!

How to train my biomecanic of speaking, I am speaker. Do you have tips and exercises? And who teach this? Very good video

[@jdgatlin8813]

What should I work on to move smoother? When I see video of myself. Im stiff and rigid. And I want to move smoother and fluent

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Hard to say because it is likely multi-factorial, but you may be overthinking the movement. Depending on the movement in question, you might want to slow it down first, with pauses at key positions, and slowly over time increase the movement speed and eliminate the pauses. Furthermore, if you lack "smoothness" or "grace" in general, investing time in activities that promote these qualities might help. Dance or gymnastics classes, yoga, or tumbling might be good places to start.
