Mechanics of Biomechanics: Topic wise MCQs of Complete Sports Biomechanics

Biomechanics is the scientific discipline that merges the prefix bio- (meaning “life”) with mechanics (the study of forces and their effects), focusing on the mechanical principles governing living organisms. The term gained international acceptance in the early 1970s to describe the study of the mechanical aspects of biological systems, especially the human body in the context of kinesiology and exercise science. Biomechanics examines both internal forces (such as those generated by muscles) and external forces (like gravity or contact with equipment) acting on the body. The field uses the analytical tools of mechanics a branch of physics to investigate the anatomical and functional dynamics of living organisms.
