The Rules of Sport Technique

Sport biomechanics studies the effects of forces on sport performance. Using laws and principles grounded in physics that apply to human movement, athletes and coaches can make sound decisions to develop efficient sport techniques.

When coaches understand how forces work in sports and how athletes can leverage these forces, they have a clear advantage over those who lack these tools. Coaches with a command of both mental training tools and sports training principles can make amazing things happen on the field.

Biomechanics and kinesiology, areas of study about human movement, can help coaches:

*Analyze sport movements,

*Select the best training exercises,

*Reduce or prevent injuries,

*Design or choose the sport equipment that best matches athletes' personal needs.

*Maximize economy and efficiency of movements.

Pages under this heading highlight key applications for sport performance. Training methods and tips show how to improve skill techniques common in sports, such as running, throwing, jumping, batting, kicking, and maintaining stability.

Tips about the roles of muscles and muscle actions are especially helpful for designing training programs that match the physical demands of sports.
