What is Biomechanics?
“Biomechanics is the study of forces and their effects on
living systems (McGinnis, 2013)”
INTRODUCTION “Biomechanics is concerned with the forces
TO BIOMECHANICS that act on a human body and the effects that
these forces produce (Hay, 1993)”

“Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of

biological systems by means of the methods of mechanics
(Hatze, 1974)”

“Biomechanics is application of mechanical principles in the

study of living organisms (Hall, 2019)”
