Title: About Biomechanics
By: Dr. Jong Beom Lee, Ph.D.
What is Sport and Exercise Biomechanics?
Sport and Exercise Biomechanics is a title that encompasses the area of science concerned with the analysis of mechanics of human movement. In other words it is the science of explaining how and why the human body moves in the way that it does. In sport and exercise that definition is often extended to also consider the interaction between the performer and his or her equipment and environment. Biomechanics is traditionally divided into the areas of kinetics (concerning the analysis of the forces acting on the body) and kinematics (concerning the analysis of the movements of the body).
What Do Biomechanists Do?
The following are the some examples of the areas where Biomechanics is applied to either support performers or solve issues in sport or exercise:
· The identification of the optimal technique for enhancing sports performance
· The analysis of body loading to determine the safest method for performing a particular sport or exercise task
· The assessment of muscular recruitment and loading
· The analysis of sport and exercise equipment e.g., shoes, surfaces and racquets.
Biomechanists are generally involved in attempting to either enhance performance or reduce the injury risk in the sport and exercise tasks examined.
