Abstract
Human body parts move when they are involved in an activity. In this paper an attempt is made to analyse the motion of the parts in line with the conservation of energy principle. Human body was modelled longitudinally as an inverted Quadruple pendulum. Analytical approach was adopted in analysing the potential and kinetic energies of the systems segments. The findings are consistent with the ones in the literature. Specifically, there is a positive correlation between the height of segments of the system and mechanical energy at the different segments of the system.
