In summary, biomechanics is the study of how living organisms move and function, particularly in relation to physical forces and the laws of physics. It involves analyzing the structure and function of biological systems, as well as the forces and movements involved in their actions. The key principles of biomechanics include the understanding of Newton's laws of motion, the importance of anatomical structure and function, and the concept of balance and stability. Additionally, biomechanics also considers the role of external factors such as gravity, friction, and surface characteristics in human movement. By applying these principles, biomechanists can better understand and improve human performance, prevent injuries, and enhance overall health and well-being.
