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.
So youâve decided to walk, but how much is enough? The average person in Canada accumulates approximately 3,500 to 5,000 steps in a day. Research shows that to improve your health you should add 2,000 to 3,000 steps to your routine a day. It only takes five minutes to walk about 500 steps.
