biomechanics

You've probably seen those graphs of power outputs of various exercises before. Now science examines the clean, but in an effort to determine which way of measuring force is actually the best method.

Monkey bars are often blamed for injuries. Katy Bowman's kids have them in their bedrooms. Learn why she thinks babies - yes, babies! - should cultivate upper body strength and how to do it safely.

If all technical issues are equal, success tends to go to the athlete who can generate the most power. So what is power and how do we generate it? Let's take a look at the biomechanics of power.

Biomechanics isn't just for elite athletes and physical therapists. Katy Bowman, founder of the Restorative Exercise Institute, discusses 'baby biomechanics' and what feet have to do with it.

Biomechanics has two aims: to improve performance and to minimize injury. Let's discuss how to decipher a force-time curve and analyze the information we get from studying a simple vertical jump.

Dr. Jason Lake takes us on a little journey to explain biomechanics and some basic terminology. In this article he talks about the kettlebell swing and the physics behind it.

Sean Waxman is our newest featured coach and guest programmer. Learn how this former national level weightlifter plans to build a legacy of American athletes.
