Mechanics: the branch of applied mathematics dealing with motion, and forces producing motion.
Biomechanics is the study of structure, forces, and the effects of forces on structure.
So what does that have to do with exercise and sport? Well… actually everything!
Every exercise in which you participate, every movement, every effort to prevent motion, and every physical challenge involves your human structure and very real forces! Read the rest of this entry

When we focus on the internal variables, such as tension-generation, control, intention, etc., we can bring our exercise attention where it needs to be; the human body. After all, exercise is first and foremost, about improvement of the body; not just a workout performance and/or something that gives us gym-bragging rights. Read the rest of this entry
