Biomechanical energy balance

All locomotions in theoretical mechanics can be examined by laws of mechanical energy. The laws of motions of mechanical devices of rigid and deformable bodies are wellknown. The aims of BIOMECHANICS are also studies of motions of live bodies. This studyrepresents an attempt to include the energy of muscular activity in mechanical treatment. Some factors, not included in the mechanics of rigid bodies, had to be considered. The theory of mechanical energy was used and extended on specific biomechanical conditions. Thereby, only some mathematical deductions and physical assumption were used. The energy consumed by muscles when executing a motion or lifting a load can be computed. The paper represents an attempt to express biomechanical factors in a mathematical form, convenient for numerucal computation.
