    This document discusses mechanical principles related to kinesiology, including angle of pull and types of pulleys. It explains that a muscle is most mechanically efficient when pulling at a right angle to the bone. Pulleys can be either fixed or movable. Fixed pulleys change the direction of force and movable pulleys provide a mechanical advantage to lift heavy weights using less effort.

    Mechanical principles
     Topic outline:
     Angle of pull
     Pulleys types-application
    Angle of pull
     Definition:
     A force is most effective when it is applied at right
    angles to a lever.
    Mechanical efficiency of a muscle:
     Mechanically, the pull is most efficient when the muscle is
    inserted at right angles to the bone.
     This efficiency is decreased as the angle of pull is reduced;
    because some of the force is used in pulling the bone of
    insertion towards the joint representing the fulcrum.
     The mechanical efficiency of the muscle pull is also reduced
    when the angle of insertion is increased from the right angle.
    In this case the joint becomes less stabl4 as the angle
    increases.
    pulley
    A pulley is a grooved wheel which is
    rotated about a fixed axis by a rope
    which passes round it. The axis is
    supported by a framework or block, and
    the whole structure may be used either
    as a fixed pulley or movable pulley.
    Types
     A FIXED PULLEY:
     This is used to alter the direction of a force, and
    enables traction or resistance to be applied at any
    angle.
     The pulley bock is fixed to some suitable support and
    the rope which passes around the wheel is attached to
    the weight at one end and the effort applied at the
    other.
     Some time the same pulley system is used in human body
    by some muscles allow them to inserted at a more
    advantageous angle .
     There are two types of fixed pulleys : single fixed pulleys and
    two fixed pulleys'.
    The moveable pulley
     This device is used to gain a mechanical
    advantage when lifting heavy weights. One
    simple combination is in common use for lifting
    the trunk for suspension exercises. The upper
    pulley is fixed to an over head support, to which
    one end of the rope is attached. The rope is
    then wound round the movable pulley, to which
    the weight is attached, and round the fixed
    pulley, the effort being applied at the free end.
     If double pulleys are used the effort required
    can gain can be reduced by half.
