Page iv Foreword The word biomechanics is probably the most abused word in fitness today. Many people would suggest that misused would be a more appropriate choice of words, but I would beg to differ. Although Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary considers abuse and misuse synonymous, I believe society now uses these two words to mean entirely different things. Misuse seems to indicate incorrect usage. Abuse, however, seems to signify another level of wrongdoing that includes mistreatment and even battery, according to my computer's thesaurus. Marketing is to blame for this abuse of the word biomechanics. Equipment companies all claim to manufacture biomechanically correct products. However, for decades, the vast majority of machines have been built around traditional exercise myths rather than sound biomechanics. Fortunately, most manufacturers are improving their machines, but this is due more to them following the leader than to having biomechanical insight. These same exercise myths are further perpetuated by the vast majority of fitness books and magazines, as well as the instructional manuals, provided to industry professionals. The word biomechanics is often used to lend credibility to products and exercises, rather than the products and exercises being designed around the laws of unbiased biomechanical science. If biomechanical laws had been broken, where were the biomechanical police? They didn't seem to exist. Most experts in biomechanics were more interested in the analysis of golf swings, gymnastics movements, and Olympic lifts than in isolated resistance training as a health, fitness, or injury-preventive modality. For this reason, resistance training fell far behind its exercise complement, aerobics, in terms of the availability of quality information based upon research and sound principles.
