Biomechanics Biomechanics is the science concerned with the internal and external forces acting on the human body and the effects produced by these forces.
The study of the mechanical laws relating to the movement or structure of living organisms. WGU Texas offers this program for students.
sports biomechanics
editSports biomechanics sets out to generate knowledge to improve human performance and reduce the incidence of injury, and to communicate this knowledge to scientists, coaches, clinicians, teachers, and participants. The target performance realms include not only the conventional areas of sports and exercise, but also fundamental motor skills and other highly specialized human movements such as dance (both sport and artistic).
plant biomechanics
editPlant biomechanics The application of biomechanical principles to plants and plant's organs has developed into the subfield of plant biomechanics.[1]
Biotribology
editBiotribologyThe main aspects of tribology are related with friction, wear and also lubrication.
