BIO MECHANICS<br />
<strong>Biomechanics</strong> is somewhat more than<br />
strict mechanics of rigid bodies<br />
Some of the biomechanical systems<br />
(bodies) are much more complex...<br />
Articulated<br />
Generators<br />
of forces<br />
Independent Redundant<br />
... specially in sports biomechanics<br />
BIO MECHANICS<br />
Biomechanically, the HUMAN BODY can<br />
be defined as:<br />
A complex system of articulated<br />
segments where movement is<br />
produced by external forces, and by<br />
internal forces, acting out of the<br />
articular axes, that induces angular<br />
displacements of the segments<br />
