The Linear Conservation of Momentum Principle is the second fundamental Biomechanical principle included in the Biomechanical Model for Running and Walking to achieve minimum movement time. This principle is derived from Newton’s First Law of Motion (Linear). This principle states that to maintain a constant state of motion, any factors that would slow the body down must be balanced by factors that speed the body up. If the factors that slow the body down exceed the factors that speed the body up, the body slows down (i.e., the state of motion changes). If the factors that slow the body down are less than the factors that speed the body up, the body speeds up (i.e., the state of motion changes).
