Biomechanics & Sports

Bio: living organism

Mechanics: Branch of Physics. Which deals with effect of force on

the object

Biomechanics is a branch of Sciences which deals with the effect of

forces acting on a living organism in moving condition or in Stationary
condition.

(A) Type of Movements

Flexion
– Decrease in angle sagittal plane and frontal axis
Extension – Increases angle sagittal – Plane frontal axis
Abduction
– Away from midline of body– Frontal planes sagittal axis Adduction–
Towards midline of body – frontal plane sagittal axis

Q. 1 Discuss the Abduction, Adduction, flexion & extension with suitable
examples in detail. Name the Movements which occurs in leg press
exercise.

(B) Friction & Sports.

Friction: is a force that develops when the surfaces of two objects

come in contact to each other & there will be relative motion between
these objects or tends to do relative motion between these two object.
Friction forces always act in the opposite direction to the movement.

 Q. 1 Explain advantages & disadvantages of friction in sports.
Q. 2 What do you understand by friction? Explain its types

Biomechanics helps in the field of sports in the following way.

1. Improvement of Technique
2. Improvement in Training method
3. Improvement of Equipment
4. Development of Skill
5. Support in preventing Injury
6. Helps in promoting safety
7. Assists in improving teaching and learning processes.
8. Facilitate performance in sports.
Q. 1 Biomechanics helps to improve technique, skill & equipment
Of Sports? Explain with suitable examples
