Kinetic Chain | A group of body segments connected by joints so that the segments operate together to provide a wide range of motion for the limb. |
Rotational Inertia | As a rotating body spins about an internal or external axis (either fixed or unfixed), it opposes any change in the body's speed of rotation that may be caused by torque. |
Angular Momentum | The product of the momentum of a rotating body and its distance from the axis of rotation. In lay terms, angular momentum can be thought as the "amount of rotation" of the body. |

Negative Work is known as | Eccentric Contraction |
Mechanical Energy is held in 2 forms: | Kinetic (energy in motion) & Potential |

As a muscle's contraction velocity increases, | its maximal force output decreases. |
Power Output is dependent upon two factors: | Quantity of power & Time it is sustained. |

Gravity pulls on the center of mass of an object . . . | at the rate of 9.81 m/sec2 |
Newton's First Law | If an object is motionless, it will remain that way unless a force acts upon it. |
Newton's Second Law | If an external force is applied to an object, the object will change speed/direction. |
Newton's Third Law | If an object exerts force on another object, the reacting force from the other object will be equal and opposite. |
