Comparative Biomechanics

Comparative Biomechanics in the context of sports examines how different athletes' bodies and movements affect performance and injury risk. By studying various sports and analyzing how muscles, bones, and joints function differently among athletes, researchers can identify what biomechanics work best for specific activities. This approach helps improve training methods, enhance performance, and develop better injury prevention strategies by understanding the similarities and differences in movement mechanics across various sports and individual athletes. Ultimately, it aims to optimize athletic performance while minimizing the chance of injury.
