Biomechanics

In Biomechanics there are some key concepts which we will be learning about. These Include:
 * Balance and stability (Centre of Gravity and base of support)
 * Levers
 * Force Summation
 * Projectile motion

The first concept we will be looking at is Levers. Bellow I have posted some video's and questions for you to answer based on these videos. These will supplement the work we have done in class and help you to remember the key concepts! As we progress through I will add information regarding the other concepts above.
