Part of Forces Acting in the Human Body Biomedically Relevant Introductory Physics (BMP)

Part 2 of 5

Highlights: Help your students "process" while they read with this Active Learning Biomedically Relevant Physics TEXT on Forces Acting in the Human Body

Abstract: Forces Acting in the Human Body is the second chapter of a developing curriculum of biomedically-relevant educational material for introductory physics geared toward pre-health students. This active-learning curricular TEXT builds on concepts introduced in the BMP Motion Chapter with coverage of Newton's Laws, Type of Forces in the Body & static equilibrium principles. Physics Content is integrated with human gait, ground reaction force, and osteoarthritis. Biomedical Expert videos from an Exercise Scientist and Biomechanical Engineer highlight the importance of understanding forces acting on the human body in their professions.
