Subdisciplines of mechanics include. 1  Statics, the study of non-moving bodies under known loads, how forces affect static bodies. 2  Dynamics the study of how forces affect moving bodies. Dynamics includes kinematics (about movement, velocity, and acceleration) and kinetics (about forces and resulting accelerations).
1 Researchers studied a group of men that typically walk approximately 10,000 steps per day (as measured by a pedometer) and asked them to reduce their steps to only 1,350 per day. 2  This meant taking elevators instead of stairs, driving to work and lunch.
The average number of daily steps you take indicates your fitness level. If you take under 5,000 steps a day, you lead a sedentary lifestyle and may lack endurance.If you take between 5,000 and 7,499 steps per day, your lifestyle is on the lower active side.Taking between 7,500 and 9,999 steps daily indicates a somewhat active lifestyle. If you take between 10,000 steps and 12,499 steps daily, you have an active lifestyle.n average, men take approximately 6,000 steps a day while women take approximately 5,300 steps a day. While any added physical activity can improve your health, the American Heart Association, AHA, recommends an average of 10,000 steps each day.
