Introduction In general, the term biomechanical principles refers to the exploitation of the mechanical laws for sports performance optimization. It should be noted that the biomechanical principles are not intended to develop technology, but only to improve technology. HOCHMUTH developed six biomechanical principles for the exploitation of mechanical laws for sports stress. Hochmuth developed five … The biomechanical principles
Principle of the optimum acceleration path Acceleration is defined as the change in speed per unit of time. It can occur both in positive and negative form. In sports, however, only positive acceleration is important. The acceleration depends on the ratio of force [F] by mass [m]. Consequently: If a higher force acts on a … Principle of the optimum acceleration path | The biomechanical principles
Principle of conservation of momentum To explain this principle, we analyze a somersault with stretched and crouched posture. The axis around which the gymnast performs a somersault is called the body width axis. With stretched posture there is a lot of body mass away from this axis of rotation. This slows down the rotational movement … Principle of conservation of momentum | The biomechanical principles
Synonyms in a broader sense Physics, Biophysics, Mechanics, Kinematics, Dynamics, Statics : biomechanicsThe biomechanics of sport is a scientific sub-discipline of the science of sport and movement. Subject of biomechanical investigation are the externally appearing movements in sports. Biomechanics describes a symbiosis of physics and biological oranisms. With models and concepts of mechanics, attempts are … Biomechanics in sport
Basic laws of classical mechanics Law of Inertia A body remains in its state of uniform motion as long as no force is acting on it. Example: A vehicle is at rest on the road. In order to change this state, a force must act on the vehicle. If the vehicle is in motion, external … Basic laws of classical mechanics | Biomechanics in sport
