To wheel an endomorph man (someone with a high percentage of body fat) on a wheelchair will require a greater amount of force than to wheel an ectomorph (slender) man. [17]Optimal biomechanics will present with lower risk and higher reward. If you use optimal biomechanics, you will have a lower risk of injuring yourself while providing an optimal environment for strengthening and loading a muscle. How to apply biomechanics

One common reference system for location joint motion is that of anatomical planes and axes. A plane of motion can be described as a particular dimension of motion that runs through an imaginary flat surface of the body and an axis is an imaginary line that the body segment is rotating about. [1] There are three planes of motion in the body, namely the sagittal, frontal and transverse planes. Chances are, if you’ve ever Googled what kind of exercises are best for certain types of training plans or performance benefits, you’ve likely encountered some terminology that left you scratching your head — and that’s what we’re here to break down for you. So let’s get into it. What are Isometrics?

The name might sound daunting, but the purpose is actually quite simple — EMGs are little sensors that measure which muscles are turning on and how much they activate. It essentially allows you to see the connection between your brain and muscles during real-time physical activity.
