Biomechanics (the science of human movement)
Skeletal muscles work as antagonistic pairs. They pull on the bone to make them pivot
A moment is the turning effect of a force
- You calculate a moment using the equation ; moment=force X perpendicular distance to pivot
- Moments have units of Newton metre
- You calculate a moment using the equation ; moment=force X perpendicular distance to pivot
The biceps and triceps are an antagonist pair
- As one muscle contracts the other relaxes - this is what an antagonistic pair is
