EXSC220 Biomechanics

2. Connective tissue where the mechanical properties depends on the direction of the mechanical load
5. Strength at the elastic limit
7. A combination of loading configurations (bending & torsion).
8. A concept map that describes the factors affecting a movement or action, starting with the primary performance factor
10. Active elements of the musculoskeletal system
13. The strongest and stiffest material of the musculoskeletal system
14. The phase that contains all of the movements that occur after the execution of the skill
15. A characteristic where the material deforms permanently and does not return to its original shape or length.

1. The ratio of stress to strain
3. A fibrous protein which constitutes a large proportion of the organic matrix of bone and cartilage, ligaments, tendons
4. A force applied parallel to the surface within an object.
6. A specific ratio of strain in the axial direction to strain in the transverse direction that describes the loading ability of a material
9. A particular type of cartilage found in the inner ear
11. The ability to resist applied stresses without failure. Results from the maximum amount of force produced by a muscle or muscle group at a site of attachment on the skeleton.
12. Connective tissue that has the same mechanical properties in every direction
16. Has a stiff and high tensile strength, but minimal resistance to compression or shear loads
