Abstract:
|
Students in allied health fields often are required to take an introductory survey of physics. These courses cover all major areas and focus on applications of physics in the function and care of the human body. As a final field trip, students in the course may complete activities at the university’s recreation center. These activities—e.g., torques for the plate-loaded inclined bench press or the hack squat as an inclined plane—highlight particular topics covered in the course and show how these principles are involved in the various exercises and equipment at the recreation center.
