Resistance Profile
This article introduces the concept of resistance profiles—how external resistance changes throughout the range of motion in dynamic exercises. Understanding resistance profiles helps us evaluate why certain portions of a movement feel more or less difficult. You’ll learn how resistance is shaped by factors like force magnitude, moment arms, and loading type, and how this impacts exercise performance and progression in calisthenics.

Kinematics of Human Movement
This article explores kinematics—the study of motion without reference to forces—as it applies to human movement in exercise and calisthenics. Understanding concepts like joint rotation, range of motion, and angular velocity helps coaches and athletes describe movement precisely and analyze exercises effectively. Mastering these basics lays the foundation for deeper insights into biomechanics and training design.

Forces & Torques - Statics
This article introduces the fundamental concepts of force and torque, which are essential for understanding how movement occurs in the body. By focusing on static conditions—where no motion or acceleration takes place—we can analyze how forces interact and create rotational effects at the joints. These principles form the foundation for evaluating exercises and understanding the mechanical demands placed on the body during calisthenics.
