Excerpt from Applied Anatomy and Kinesiology: The Mechanism of Muscular Movement The second reason for our interest in Kinesiology is practical. The work done by the machine reacts on the machine, modifying its development and the efficiency of its action. The maxim of biologists that Function determines structure is nowhere more true or more important than in muscular work. Although heredity has some part in it, nevertheless what/we are depends largely on what we have done. The difference in physique between the athlete and the bookkeeper is in great measure the result of different kinds and degrees of activity. The reaction of the work upon the body is not only developmental but mechanical, for it influences the posture of the joints and/the shape of the bones. Those who examine large numbers of men soon-learn to tell almost immediately from the look of a man what his previous occupation has been. It follows that anyone who wishes to keep his own bodily machinery up to a fair grade of efficiency will do well to study Kinesiology, while those who plan to direct the bodily activities of others with a view to development and health need to have its main principles constantly in mind.
