physics of musculo-skeletal system producing force for human movement. Human movement is accomplished by muscles creating force that pulls on bones that function as levers that articulate with other bones at joints or what would be termed in leverage the fulcrums. A great significance of understanding of how this system works or what takes place when it works is the study of the forces that are at work. Even though the study of the physics of the musculo-skeletal system at work is very significant it is not concisely taught and therefore not commonly understood. The study of the physics of the musculo-skeletal system is a cornerstone of the study physical medicine and biomechanics. For instance Borelli's 1660 physics study of the human spine in the act of holding up a force of 120 lbs, depicting how much muscle force it took and how the joints were impacted with force was instrumental in earning him the title of the father of biomechanics. For the study of biomechanics this physics reveals in human performance the forces acting upon, produced by and then impacting within the joints of the musculo-skeletal system. At our website, http://www.spinalfitness.com/, on the front page we put on the following link Take A Free Look At Course #1. This link takes you to our entire 200+ page course teaching   1. Physics of the Musculo-Skeletal System   2. Production of Force in Human Movement Learn the same mathematical formulas your body must use to determine the amount of muscle force it must produce and how to stabilize forces impacting it's joints for successful human movement. Due to spine's anatomical and developmental complexity emphasis is placed on spinal function and healthy maturation for youth, especially involved in sports.  Also learn why the best spinal posture produces the superior athletic performance. For those of you that want to start learning how the musculo- skeletal works in human performance or movement this course can get you started. John Scherger Ridgefield WA jsscherger1comcast.net
