1. Define biomechanics and human movement biomechanics. 2. In what types of settings do biomechanists typically work? 3. What are the goals of biomechanics?

Answer 1

Ans) 3) Biomechanics is the study of the structure, function and motion of the mechanical aspects of biological systems, at any level from whole organisms to organs, cells and cell organelles, using the methods of mechanics.

- Biomechanics applies the mechanical principles of physics and engineering to the motion, structure, and functioning of all living systems.

Goals of biomechanics:

- Understand how the basic laws of physics affect and shape the structure and function of the human body.
Apply this understanding to:

(a) improve the outcomes of our movements (such as performance effectiveness)

(b) increase or maintain the safety and health of our tissues.

Biomechanics helps:

- Improve movement techniques for sport performance, locomotion, and motor skill acquisition
- Improve equipment
- Prevent injury
- Guide rehabilitation and treatment

Examples of biomechanics research include the investigation of the forces that act on limbs, the aerodynamics of bird and insect flight, the hydrodynamics of swimming in fish, and locomotion in general across all forms of life, from individual cells to whole organisms.
