Biomechanics in Gymnastics
Biomechanics in gymnastics studies how the body moves during routines, analyzing forces, movements, and mechanical efficiency. It helps athletes optimize their technique to improve performance and reduce injury risk by understanding how muscles, bones, and joints work together during complex skills like jumps, flips, and balances. Coaches use biomechanics to refine training, enhance strength and flexibility, and ensure proper timing and force application for safe, effective execution of routines.
