| dc.description.abstract | Biomechanics is part of biophysics and aims to study the function and structure of biological systems based on the principles, laws, and methods of mechanics. The human body is a dynamic system in constant change, with internal (physiological) and external effects (mechanical). From an external point of view, every action/movement results from forces produced by the subject and by external forces acting on him/her. The study of these forces and their effects, such as movement, absence of movement, and deformations is the main focus of biomechanics. The amount of forces that act on the human system in each movement will also result in an internal response, so the higher the mechanical stress, the greater the physiological impact [1]. This association is observed in every physical or sports activity, highlighting the importance of biomechanics for a better understanding of the physiological response to exercise [2, 3]. When a sports professional is concerned by how the available energy is used to exercise at a specific intensity/volume, causing a chain of intersegmental movements, he/she is facing biomechanical issues. The boundary of the object of study between biomechanics and physiology in sport is so tangential that it is sometimes confused [4, 5]. In this way, biomechanical analysis can help to control physical demands and explain the athlete’s state of well-being [6]. Therefore, it will play an important role in sports performance and the participants’ health, in which mechanics and physiology are combined in sports biomechanics [7]. | pt_PT |
