Biomechanics in sport incorporates a detailed analysis of sport movements in order to minimise the risk of injury and improve sports performance. Sport and exercise biomechanics encompasses the area of science concerned with the analysis of the mechanics of human movement.[1] It refers to the description, detailed analysis and assessment of human movement during sport activities.[2] Mechanics is a branch of physics that is concerned with the description of motion/movement and how forces create motion/movement. Therefore, sport biomechanics is the science of explaining how and why the human body moves in the way that it does. In sport and exercise, that definition is often extended to also consider the interaction between the performer, their equipment and the environment.
