322010 - Biomechanics concepts
All our life is only movement.
If physiology corresponds to the physical dimension of the performance in gymnastics, psychology guides us for the psychological dimension, without a doubt biomechanics opens the doors of technique.
"Biomechanics is the study of mechanics applied to the human body. It is a science whose purpose is the study of the forces and effects produced by their applications.”
By the perfect understanding of biomechanics we can analyze and teach movements but also identify errors.
We know that it is broken down into 3 forms of mechanical studies:
- Statics: Study of the conditions of equilibrium of a body under the effect of a force.
- Kinetics: Study of motion.
- Dynamics: Study of the relationships between forces and movements.
