  2. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

  3. Kinesiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinesiology

    Kinesiology (from Ancient Greek κίνησις (kínēsis) 'movement' and -λογία-logía 'study of') is the scientific study of human body movement. Kinesiology addresses physiological , anatomical , biomechanical , pathological , neuropsychological principles and mechanisms of movement.

  4. Action principles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_principles

    Action principles are "integral" approaches rather than the "differential" approach of Newtonian mechanics.[2]: 162 The core ideas are based on energy, paths, an energy function called the Lagrangian along paths, and selection of a path according to the "action", a continuous sum or integral of the Lagrangian along the path.

  5. Motor skill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_skill

    For example, infants first learn to lift their heads on their own, followed by sitting up with assistance, then sitting up by themselves. Followed by scooting, crawling, pulling up, and then walking. Proximodistal – the principle that movement of limbs that are closer to the body develop before the parts that are further away.

  6. Motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control

    Movement time is the time it takes to complete the movement. Some of the first reaction time experiments were carried out by Franciscus Donders , who used the difference in response times to a choice task to determine the length of time needed to process the stimuli and choose the correct response. [ 20 ]

  7. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    Humans, like all known things in the universe, are in constant motion; [2]: 8–9 however, aside from obvious movements of the various external body parts and locomotion, humans are in motion in a variety of ways that are more difficult to perceive. Many of these "imperceptible motions" are only perceivable with the help of special tools and ...

  8. Graham technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_technique

    Graham technique is designed to make its dancers expressive and dramatic. Its movement vocabulary draws connections between the physical and emotional meanings of "power", "control", and "vulnerability". [9] Movement initiates from the core, incorporating large back movements and dancing on the floor.

  9. Somatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatics

    An early precursor of the somatic movement in Western culture was the 19th-century physical culture movement. This movement sought to integrate movement practices, or "gymnastics", related to military and athletic training; medical treatment; and dance. [7] Many physical culture practices were brought to the US. [8]
