C. Apply Knowledge of Basic Principles of Biomechanics Regarding Exercise Selection, Execution, and Sport Performance
- Kinetic laws and principles of movement (lever systems, momentum, torque, power, work, force, center of gravity, impulse, center of pressure, force-velocity curve, force-time curve, etc.)
- Kinematic laws and principles of movement (anatomical planes of movement, joint angles, isometric/isotonic/isokinetic, velocity, etc)
- Role of muscles in movement (e.g., agonist, antagonist, synergist, neutralizer, stabilizer)
