Biomechanics of Movement | Lecture 5.3: Muscle Architecture: How Form Influences Function

Lecture by Professor Scott Delp of Stanford University about biomechanics of muscle. Learn about how muscle architecture affects force generation. We explore key concepts including physiological cross-sectional area, pennation angle, fiber length, and how to estimate muscle force using these parameters.
