The common belief is that Closed Chain exercises are the preferred rehabilitation for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury because of increased strain, joint laxity, and anterior tibial translation that can occur during Open Chain exercises.

Upon downswing, driving the weight bearing force into the trail heel will maximize ground reactive forces, adjust the club path and allow the needed pronation. On the downswing, having slightly more weight on the lead midfoot allows for seamless transfer of weight to the lateral lead foot to prepare for the stability needed for the remainder of the swing. Finally, in my experience, offloading the trail foot rearfoot during follow-through allows the needed hip rotation along with plantarflexion of both the first ray and ankle joint needed for the finish. Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities. Phillips D. The position of the right foot. Available at: https://www.mytpi.com/articles/swing/the_position_of_the_right_foot . Published November 14, 2012. Accessed July 6, 2021.The club model was driven in free space using artificial drivers consisting of three translational joints (X, Y, and Z) and three revolute joints (alpha, beta, and gamma). The revolute drivers were configured in series to match the joint angular motions with the Euler 1-2-3 (alpha, beta, and gamma) relative body angle representation. This angle representation works well for the golf swing as the alpha angle represents the main swing motion, the beta angle is the pitch of the swing plane, and the gamma angle is the roll about the long axis of the shaft.

The total amount of energy transferred to the kinetic energy stores and thermal energy stores is equal to the energy initially transferred from the gravitational energy stores. The principle of energy states that energy can only be transferred and is never created nor destroyed. Healthy adults walking at chosen speed exhibited key mechanical advantages produced by the kinetic ( KE) and potential ( PE) energies of the thigh and shank, and conservation of mechanical energies ( KE and PE) both within thigh and shank and across thigh and shank. These mechanical energy patterns during the swing phase serve to smooth the total energy pattern of the lower limb swing phase (TE), as well as drive swing phase knee flexion without the need for muscle activation of the knee flexors. These two discoveries at least partially explain how knee flexion movement is accomplished without muscle activation, as well as explaining the optimal energy cost of chosen gait speed for healthy adults.Dr. Phil Cheetham is currently the senior sport technologist and biomechanist for the United States Olympic Committee at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California. He currently works primarily with athletics and golf, but has also worked with many sports including gymnastics, swimming and diving. He has been a member of the US Olympic Team staff for both the London (2012) and Rio (2016) Olympic Games. In Rio several of the athletes he works directly with won gold and silver medals. However, over time the swing of the pendulum decreases in size and slows down. This is not because the energy is being destroyed but instead some of the kinetic energy is being transferred as thermal energy to the surroundings through the friction between the pendulum and the air particles. The following data from Table 3 have been previously reported in the literature; club head velocities, swing torques, interaction forces, total club work, total club kinetic energy, and total club power. The relevant references are listed in the last column of Table 3. In all cases, the reported values are for one subject only with the exception of Budney and Bellow ( 1982) who reported values for four subjects. The models used were all two-link, two-dimensional, rigid models with the exception of Vaughn ( 1979) who used a one-link rigid three-dimensional model. There appears to be sufficient agreement among the reported values and the data predicted by the club model to yield confidence in the model output. For the full-body model, none of the data reported in Table 2 and Figures 5 and ​ and6, 6, have been previously reported. The verifications of the full-body model discussed previously yield some confidence in the model output.

Use the concepts of kinetic energy, potential energy and conservation of energy to perform an experiment to determine an object's velocity. One benefit of optimizing the sequence is, you’ll get the highest club head speed possible while the other benefit is for the less amount of work you can generate just as much energy. It’s a way of maintaining high club head speed without killing yourself or without working too hard on every single swing. It turns out that kinetic energy and the amount of work done in the system are strictly correlated, and the work-energy theorem can describe their relationship. It states that we can convert the work done by all external forces into a change of kinetic energy:

the upper thigh segment attached to the body at the hip and the lower shank segment attached to the thigh at the knee; and thus, the shank is directly influenced by thigh biomechanics, as well as the mechanisms directly exerted on the shank;

Let's consider a bullet of mass 5 g, traveling at a speed of 1 km/s. Its kinetic energy equals 2,500 J, way above 1 J because of the considerable velocity. That's the reason why bullets cause a lot of damage while hitting targets. Use the kinetic energy calculator to find out how fast the same bullet will have to be traveling at to get its energy to 1 J. It's a velocity of about 20 m/s. Well, it will still hurt when it impacts a body, but it definitely won't cause anything worse than a bruise. An important measure of the efficiency of the golf swing is how much of the internal work is transferred to the golf club. Based upon the overall efficiency values, most of the work produced within the joints is not transferred to the club, but used to move the segments of the body. Subjects 3 and 4 who had the smoother style swings, had the higher overall efficiencies, although the consistency among subjects was quite surprising. Even though subjects 3 and 4 were not as skilled golfers in terms of their handicap as the other two subjects, it appears that they were better able to maximize the potential of their bodies to do useful work through increased range of motion to compensate for lower joint torque values, and through the smoothness of their swing styles, more of this work was transferred from the body to the club. Kinetic energy – every object that moves has kinetic energy, and this is sometimes referred to as movement energy. The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends upon its mass and the speed at which it is moving. The more mass the object has and the faster it is moving, the more kinetic energy it has. Have each group move to a designated area and tie its weight to the string/line so that it barely misses the ground while hanging. Kelvin Miyahira is one of the world’s leading anatomical researchers of the golf swing. He has a thorough understanding of the human body and analyzes the golf swing from a qualitative biomechanical perspective - except for the biomechanics of the foot. While describing what he began to visualize on the trail foot, Miyahira explained it to others as an extra “lateral wiggle” motion the foot makes in some golfers. At the time, he felt this was in opposition to “biomechanical science’s view is that one should drive with the legs.” 11 In reality, his description of this “wiggle” was consistent with the momentum of continuing subtalar joint supination for stability prior to initiating the downswing.
