The branch of biophysics that deals with the mechanics of the human or animal body; especially concerned with muscles and the skeleton
Biomechanics is the application of the principles of mechanics to living systems, particularly those living systems that have coordinated movements
An experimental acting system, characterized by expressive physicalization and bold gesticulation, developed by Russian play director Vsevolod Meyerhold (1874-1940) in the 1920s
mechanical principles applied to the study of biological functions; the applicationof mechanical laws to living sturctures; the study and knowledge of biological function from an application of mechanical principles
- Study which uses the laws of physics and engineering concepts to describe the motions of body parts and the forces acting upon them duing normal daily activities
The field of study which makes use of the laws of physics and engineering concepts to describe motion of body segments, and the forces which act upon them during activity
Theatre system of performance and training developed by Meyerhold The technique emphasized the movement on stage, the study of preparation for a certain action: emotional and physical state of the moment of action itself: and the resulting anti-climax of reaction (see Cycle)
Science concerned with the internal and external forces acting on a human body and the effects produced by these forces
the science concerned with the action of forces, internal or external, on the living body
(used with a sing. verb) The study of the mechanics of a living body, especially of the forces exerted by muscles and gravity on the skeletal structure
