Biomechanics in Athletics

Biomechanics in athletics is the scientific study of how the body moves during physical activity. It analyzes factors like force, motion, and muscle function to understand how athletes perform and how to improve efficiency and reduce injury risk. By examining techniques and movement patterns, biomechanics helps athletes optimize their performance and coaches develop better training methods. Essentially, it combines principles of physics and biology to better understand the mechanics behind athletic movements, leading to more effective training, technique refinement, and injury prevention.
