Oatis (2016) stated that there are over 1000 types of properties, which describes a material’s behavior in the presence of mechanical forces. Such material properties can be applied to human tissue (i.e., biomechanics), as a means of comprehending the body’s responses to the aforementioned mechanical forces. Such properties include, but are not limited to: stress-strain,…

Vladimir Janda was a physician who, in the late 1970s, found aberrant and unusual postures, motions, joint actions, and muscle imbalances within the human body. He termed the phenomena as lower crossed syndrome (LCS) and upper crossed syndrome (UCS) (Page, Lardner, & Frank, 2010). Awareness of UCS and LCS is imperative, as the aforementioned syndromes…
Muscles and joints have the capacity to activate and move individually, with a particular action; a concept often echoed within the field of exercise science and academia.
