Exam 1: Terminology & Kinematics

1. What is the difference between kinesiology and structural kinesiology?

2. What is the difference between kinetics and kinematics?

3. what are the 3 focuses of kinematics?

4. what are the two types of kinematics?

1. kinesiology is the study of movement, while structural focuses not on movement but the bones/joints/muscles involved to create the movement

2. kinetics is the force that produces or resist mvmt, while kimematics focuses/describes how the object moves not focusing on mvmt

3. type, direction, and quanity
