What is Force Vector?

The direction and magnitude of a force applied during movement.

In context

Force Vector is a key concept in biomechanics. The direction and magnitude of a force applied during movement. Knowing what it means — and how it connects to the rest of your training — turns it from jargon into something you can actually use in the gym.

Nishaana is built around ideas like this: it tracks the numbers behind them automatically, so the theory shows up as real progress in your logbook rather than staying abstract.
