Title: Vertical jumping
Synopsis: 1: Investigates relationships between force, impulse and momentum, using a human vertical jump as the model. They are guided through the analysis step by step using the equations from Newton's laws of motion to calculate velocity, momentum, impulse and di
Title: Running and walking
Synopsis: 2: Shows how force changes human motion during running or walking.
Title: Static strength
Synopsis: 3: Explores the concept of torque by varying the point of application of the load transducer on the limb, and by measuring the effect it has on the muscles' ability to generate force. The joint angle can be varied to explore the force-angle relationship d
