Compression of solids has many implications in materials science, physics and structural engineering, for compression yields noticeable amounts of stress and tension. By inducing compression, mechanical properties such as compressive strength or modulus of elasticity , can be measured.
Once reserved for athletes, eccentric exercise is becoming increasingly popular in everyday training and physical therapy—especially for people with musculoskeletal conditions like Parkinson’s ...
A compression belt is a type of spinal brace worn around the waist and lower back that compresses the abdomen. It centers the body's mass, and effectively decompresses the spine . As a result, the user experiences improved posture, [ 1 ] core stability, [ 2 ] lower back pain relief, [ 3 ] and reduced spinal cord compression stress.
A woman demonstrating the ability to balance A waiter balancing wine glasses. Balance in biomechanics, is an ability to maintain the line of gravity (vertical line from centre of mass) of a body within the base of support with minimal postural sway. [1] Sway is the horizontal movement of the centre of gravity even when a person is standing still.

The CEO of Crunch Fitness doesn’t think there’s such a thing as work-life balance: ‘That’s for somebody who’s not fully committed’
General fitness training may be used to promote weight loss. Personal trainers construct a program centered on restructuring lifestyle while helping to provide the necessary motivation for its success. General fitness training can also be used to promote toning or building of muscles, which are essentially the same physiological process.
In mechanics, compressive strength (or compression strength) is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size (compression). It is opposed to tensile strength which withstands loads tending to elongate, resisting tension (being pulled apart).
