People have been thinking about the role of gravity in movement throughout the entire time of recorded history. Some of these thoughts were very insightful, as those of Leonardo da Vinci, for example, who considered the body weight to be the major cause of human (and animal) movement. Newtonian mechanics allowed us to see gravity as the main component of interaction between physical bodies and calculate different parameters of this interaction. Modern times mechanics applied to human movement, called biomechanics, got developed to a very sophisticated level and helped us to understand human movement better and successfully apply this knowledge...
