Abstract
Analysing the motion of the human body provides a means of demonstrating the practical implications of a number of fundamental mechanical concepts. In this discussion of the apparently simple action of walking, the concepts of kinetic and potential energy and energy transfer, of Newton's second law and the impulse-momentum relationship and of basic levers and equilibrium are used to explain why individuals walk in almost identical ways.
