Occupational Biomechanics

Occupational biomechanics studies how the body moves and performs tasks in various work environments, focusing on optimizing human performance and reducing injury risk. In the context of sports, it looks at the mechanics of athletic movements—like running, throwing, or lifting—and how athletes can use their bodies more effectively. By analyzing posture, force, and technique, occupational biomechanics helps improve training methods, enhance performance, and design safer equipment. Ultimately, it aims to support athletes in achieving their best while minimizing the chances of injuries during both practice and competition.
