ABSTRACT
Considering this equation, it is possible to see that in order to increase the torque, and hence increase the turning moment (or rotational effect) applied to an object, we can either increase the force applied or increase the distance from
Similarly, in order to decrease the amount of torque applied to a system we can either reduce the force applied or shorten the distance from the axis of rotation from which the force is applied. Both of these applications have particularly important implications within Human Movement and Exercise Science.
