Talk the torque

Talk the Torque I would like to help people get through the apparent misunderstandings of torque and understand it from a scientific point of view. Why is it important to understand, what is its role for us as coaches? How is it researched? 2.15 It’s just energy. If you fire water through a tube it creates energy and creates pressure against the outside of the tube. 3.05 The scientific definition ‘A torque acting on a body is created by a force acting a distance away from the axis of rotation.’ Axis of rotation in a gym setting… a bicep curl is the elbow. The forces are the key component within the torque concept. Without the forces there can’t be a torque. None Contact Forces Gravity Contact Forces Ground reaction force Joint reaction forces Friction Fluid resistance Air resistance Inertial force Muscle force Elastic force 7.50 It’s a big topic there are some many different avenues. We could talk about the biomechanical route, muscular route, length / tension … this might be two podcasts. 9.20 Digital Human Modelling Paper. 13.30 EMG vs Torque are 2 completely different topics 16.00 Muscles force – Achilles tendon 20.30 We can see from the biomechanical studies these forces iniitate motion… Torque is the final energy. 29.00 It touches on strength vs technique The application of squat training, the reason people do a box squat trying to keep a vertical shin… when we look at the bone motions the centre of mass has changed. The vertical shin is creating a greater torque than allowing the knee to drift forward. The reason people get stronger by doing box squats is because you have changed the torque on your body, you are overcoming more weight even though there is less weight on the bar…
