The article "Ankle Biomechanics during four landing techniques‚" written by Brian P. Self and Daniel Paine is based on a study trying to reveal new ankle injury prevention during landings in a variety of sports. By performing a series of landing tests‚ the goal is to learn how to prevent ankle injuries in sports through knowledge and understanding of proper landing techniques. Four landing conditions from 30.48 cm in height were tested. The landings include: the natural landing where the participant

Biomechanical principles are what introduces the human body to motion‚ so the tennis biomechanics is essentially the science mechanics tennis technique. Tennis is a game in which two or more players hit the ball with rackets over a low net that is stretched across a court which is usually artificial surface. The tennis serve begins from the feet hitting the ground then continues up through the torso to the shoulders‚ then moves to the arm and then wrist. It continues right to the point when the ball

Running biomechanics research provides imperative data and information about injury prevention‚ injury treatment and movement safety (Knudson 2007). The study of running biomechanics is essential in order to provide analysable data which illustrates the potential risk of injury of an inadequate running technique. Considering Newton’s third law
