We take you into the world of biomechanics, sports injury and athletic footwear. It contains the most sophisticated analysis and comment on current issues in sports medicine.
Biomechanics is closely related to engineering, because it often uses traditional engineering sciences to analyse biological systems. For example, application of Newtonian mechanics helps us to understand the loads on the body like force and pressure. Materials sciences helps us design better footwear to influence the mechanics of human biological systems. Applied mechanics, most notably mechanical engineering disciplines such as kinematics and kinetics play prominent roles in the study of biomechanics.
Biomechanics allows us to understand the laws of physics as applied to any body system.
Sports Biomechanics
Sports biomechanics defines the body in motion and the physical loads that may cause injury or effect performance. For example, gait analysis allows us to investigate how an athlete moves. This understanding has important implications for athletic footwear design and prescription, injury prevention strategies, and technique modification for performance enhancement.
