the science that proves your slouch is a crime against your own skeleton
means The scientific study of human movement — how muscles, bones, and nerves work together to produce motion, posture, and physical performance.
from From the Greek 'kinēsis,' meaning 'movement' (from 'kinein,' to move — the same root that powers 'cinema' and 'kinetic'), joined to '-logia,' the suffix of study and reasoned talk. So at heart it simply means 'the study of motion.' The term entered scientific English in the 19th century as anatomists and physiologists began treating the moving body as a system worth measuring.
