The description of the human figure in the motion is a very important part of biomechanical analysis. In such current methods it is necessary to us mass moment of inertia as a part of the fundamental dynamic anthropomeasure when describin...

From both laboratory and field work, we have gained major insights into human response to physical and social challenges. While these results were considered by most professionals to belong within evolutionary biology, in fact the intellectual structure sprang almos...
