THE ROLE OF BIOMECHANICS IN SPORTS INJURY PREVENTION AND REHABILITATION

Аннотация

This article examines the role of biomechanics in preventing sports injuries and supporting rehabilitation processes. It highlights the importance of biomechanical analysis in identifying risk factors such as improper posture, repetitive stress, and mechanical overload that contribute to athletic injuries. The study also discusses the application of biomechanics in designing preventive strategies, optimizing training methods, and developing protective equipment. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the role of biomechanics in rehabilitation programs, focusing on restoring functional movements, correcting muscular imbalances, and preventing re-injury. Future directions, including wearable technologies, artificial intelligence, and computer modeling, are explored as promising innovations that will enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of sports injury management. Overall, the article concludes that biomechanics is essential not only for injury prevention and rehabilitation but also for improving long-term health and athletic performance.
