Impact biomechanics in sports and exercise: Understanding the mechanical forces behind sports-related injuries

Abstract

Sports mechanics is a thorough analysis of sports motions that lowers the chance of injury and promotes athletic ability. Sport and exercise biomechanics are a scientific field that studies the mechanics of human movement. The purpose of this study is to explore biomechanics to analyze the various mechanical forces that affect the human body during sports and exercise using the biomechanical model. This study aims to identify the underlying causes of injuries such as ligament tears. According to statistics from injury surveillance, collegiate players are more likely to sustain injuries after suffering sports-related injuries (SRI). A total of 550 players participated in this study. The players are divided into two groups: group A, which focuses on sports-related injuries, and group B, which focuses on healthy players. The data was analyzed using SPSS software. The result showed a significant relation between groups. The findings demonstrated ligament tears on both the primary leg and secondary leg during the LCT compared to Group B. Players with sports-related injuries can be more susceptible to lower limb injuries due to reduced ligament tearing during land-and-cut exercises. This study advances the understanding of the mechanical forces behind sports-related injuries, hence improving athlete safety and performance.
