New applications of sports biomechanics in human health and athletic performance
Abstract
The article explores the new applications of sports biomechanics in human health and athletic performance. Firstly, it introduces the fundamental principles of sports biomechanics, including its definition and mechanical principles, providing a theoretical foundation for subsequent research. In terms of health, sports biomechanics is applied to the prevention and assessment of sports injuries, enabling athletes and the public to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the potential risks in sports and to take effective measures to avoid injuries. Additionally, in rehabilitation therapy, sports biomechanics offers patients scientific training programs to enhance recovery outcomes. Furthermore, for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, sports interventions based on biomechanics have significantly improved athletic ability and quality of life. In the field of sports performance, sports biomechanics assists athletes in enhancing their competitive state and sustained performance by analyzing sports techniques and optimizing training methods. The article concludes by summarizing the importance and application prospects of sports biomechanics, demonstrating its potential in improving health levels and sports performance. By exploring the multiple functions of sports biomechanics, this paper provides new perspectives for improving sports training and health management, and advocates for the further application of this scientific tool in sports medicine and the fitness industry.
