Abstract
Since Galenus (129-201 a.C., physician and philosopher in the Roman empire) approached the study of physical exercise and training of gladiators, classifying muscles and their function in his De Motu Musclorum, the assessment of motor activity and physical function has been object of innumerate applied research. Great minds, such as Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), with his study of limb motion, and Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), in his De Animalium Motibus, opened the path to the systematic study of human motion, while Borelli, in his De Motu Animalium (1680), was the first to apply to a traditionally biological topic the rigorous analytic method developed by Galileo.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
