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 />

Based in Amadio (1996)
