Basic Terms of Sports Biomechanics

 

Basic Terms

 

MECHANICS  is that branch of science which studies the motion or form of bodies under the action of forces.

 

BIOMECHANICS  -  is the field of study which applies the principles of mechanics to the structure and movement of living things.

 

SPORTS BIOMECHANICS  -  is the application of the principles of biomechanics to the study of human motion in sports and exercise.

     Branches

  Statics                                         unbalanced forces         Dynamics

                                                      Produced some changes

 

                                                                              Kinematics                              Kinetics

 

Statics  -  dealing specifically with balanced forces which produced no change in the state of motion of a body.

 

Kinematics  -  Quantitative descriptions or geometry of motion. That is how far? How fast and how consistently?-Study the characteristics of motion.-velocity, acceleration, without regards to force.

 

Kinetics- which is concerned with the effects of unbalance forces, that is, with the cause of motion. In other words-Deal with application and effects of force.

Bio-Mechanics=Bio+Mechanics

Bio  - mean something pertaining to living being or life.

Mechanics  - mean the discipline which study the movement of object motion of the objects with the help of mechanical principles.

Bio-mechanics  - Bio-mechanic is a science which examine the various internal and external forces acting on the athletes and the implements and the effect produced by these forces”.
