Examines foundational topics of musculoskeletal mechanics from a postural and movement perspective. Initially emphasizes static forces in muscles, tendons and articular tissues for postural stability then advances to the kinetics of human movement, exploring concepts such as impulse, momentum, work, and energy during physical activity and exercise. Concentrates on net moment and force analysis to explain how muscles and tissues respond to human movement. Develops the necessary background for understanding and quantifying musculoskeletal biomechanics in relation to sport and rehabilitation sciences.  Note: Credit cannot be counted for both KIN 2063 and KIN 2062.
