ANALYSIS OF BIOMECHANICAL PERSPECTIVE OF SPORTS INJURY
Abstract
Many sportsmen today participate in highly organized sports programs that involve regimented yearround repetitive training. The excessive training has led to an increased incidence of overuse musculoskeletal injuries. Sports scientists and sport physicians have dealt with sports injuries in athletes for many years and, on the basis of their experience, they have developed guidelines to treat and to try and prevent these injuries in mechanical viewpoint. The purpose of this article is to provide a biomechanical perspective of sports injuries in athletes. Basic tissue and gross movement mechanics principles are used to identify movement factors that may influence athletes to an overuse injury. Analytical methods was used for this article by reviewing relevant publications, primarily based on the online sports medicine journals available on Internet, Wikipedia, Elsevier, PubMed and other open access journal. Biomechanics technology and approaches should be used to help enhance performance in sports and to avoid injury. Good understanding of biomechanics may be used in the sports to establish safe and effective training guidelines for sportsman.
