Sports biomechanics

Sports biomechanics is a quantitative based study


and analysis of professional athletes and sports' activities in general.
[1]
It can simply be
described as thePhysics of Sports. In this subfield of biomechanics the laws of mechanics are
applied in order to gain a greater understanding of athletic performance throughmathematical
modeling, computer simulation and measurement. Biomechanics is the study of the structure
and function of biological systems by means of the methods of mechanics. which is the
branch of physics involving analysis of the actions of forces. Within mechanics there are two
sub-fields of study: statics, which is the study of systems that are in a state of constant motion
either at rest (with no motion) or moving with a constant velocity; and dynamics, which is the
study of systems in motion in which acceleration is present, which may involve kinematics (the
study of the motion of bodies with respect to time, displacement,velocity, and speed of
movement either in a straight line or in a rotary direction) and kinetics (the study of the forces
associated with motion, including forces causing motion and forces resulting from motion).
