biomechanics

Our father claims to have written software, while he did his PhD in biomechanics in the late 1970s.

The book does an extremely good job of explaining the biomechanics behind the movements and what makes proper form proper.

Brains work probabilistically at least in the sense that the underlying biomechanics have some statistical distribution.

In the field I am in (sports biomechanics), this would be a vast improvement on things.

It does no good to reproduce census data and the like!) You should see how bad it is in my field of study - biomechanics.

Arriving at college, I dove into psychology with a passion, hoping that understanding the biomechanics of the brain would give me some clues.

It is true that training dominates 'talent'/'genetic biomechanics'.

For context: I also went to Stanford, did some biomechanics research and then had to do a fair bit of resume rehab to be employable.

D., director of the Spine Biomechanics Laboratory at the University of Waterloo says that interrupting your sedentary time as often as possible and making frequent posture changes is important.

I would love access to biomechanics/kinesiology papers if at all possible.

Completely untrue in my field (biomechanics/kinesiology).

If you look at the biomechanics, it does seem like a keyboard + mouse + >=20" screen is the optimal setup for doing actual work.

In biomechanics I often saw complete scattershot X-Y correlations, which after enough statistical dancing, were revealed to be "statistically significant" enough to be publishable, though they obviously had very little predictive power.

But it doesn't square with what's known now about biomechanics (eg shearing is highest at the "safe height"; shallow squatting leads to uneven wear because that's not how the knee is arranged to work etc), or on the statistics on injury and pathology in sports using lots of squats.

Having worked in mechanical engineering and biomechanics, I also developed a certain skepticism with results in the "softer" (or "less controllable"?) sciences.
