Biomechanics is the study of the mechanical aspects of living organisms, focusing on how biological structures and systems move and function. It plays a crucial role in fields such as sports science, rehabilitation, orthopedics, and ergonomics.
Biomechanics applies principles of physics and engineering to understand the forces, motions, and stresses acting on organisms during activities like walking, running, and sports.
By analyzing the interactions between bones, muscles, tendons, and joints, biomechanics seeks to optimize performance, prevent injuries, and design medical devices.
