Sports Biomechanics: Reducing Injury Risk and Improving Sports Performance

Biomechanics refers to the study of the movement of a living body. It studies how tendons, muscles, ligaments, and bones interact to create movement. In sports, biomechanics helps describe, clarify, and forecast the mechanical components of human sports and exercise. Sports biomechanics is a fundamental subfield in the field of sports science. It includes thoroughly investigating the movements used in sports to lower the risk of injury and enhance sports performance. Biomechanical analysis can significantly influence the performance of sportspersons by developing models for load analysis and optimal movement. These models are used to examine the effects of the different environments on the responses or moves of a body. It also tries to find the most effective or safest method to move or perform a skill. This book elucidates the role of sports biomechanics in reducing the risk of injury and improving sports performance. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers. Those with interest in this field would find this book helpful.
