Overview

Biomechanics refers to the study of the motion, structure and function of the mechanical components of biological systems. This can span various levels, from whole organisms to cell organelles, organs and cells by utilizing the methods of mechanics. Sports biomechanics involves quantitative study and analysis of sports activities and professional players. It includes a thorough analysis of sport movements to reduce the risk of injury and enhance athletic performance. The laws of mechanics are used in biomechanics for gaining a better understanding of the athletic performance through computer simulation, mathematical modeling and measurement. Biomechanics facilitates sports players to work on various areas, such as enhancing running technique to improve efficiency or speed, enhancing vehicle aerodynamics and enhancing swimming technique to maximize propulsion. This book contains some path-breaking studies in sports biomechanics. It aims to shed light on the researches focused on optimizing human performance through the application of the principles of sports biomechanics. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
