Abstract
Sports biomechanics: monitoring health and performance
Highlights
Biomechanics is part of biophysics and aims to study the function and structure of biological systems based on the principles, laws, and methods of mechanics
The amount of forces that act on the human system in each movement will result in an internal response, so the higher the mechanical stress, the greater the physiological impact [1]
Biomechanical analysis can help to control physical demands and explain the athlete’s state of well-being [6]. It will play an important role in sports performance and the participants’ health, in which mechanics and physiology are combined in sports biomechanics [7]
Summary
Biomechanics is part of biophysics and aims to study the function and structure of biological systems based on the principles, laws, and methods of mechanics. The amount of forces that act on the human system in each movement will result in an internal response, so the higher the mechanical stress, the greater the physiological impact [1]. This association is observed in every physical or sports activity, highlighting the importance of biomechanics for a better understanding of the physiological response to exercise [2, 3].
