Synopsis
Sports biomechanics is a basic science in increasing the performance of athletes and minimizing the risks of injury. This branch of science contributes to the protection of athletes' health by analyzing the skills of athletes such as balance and strength in detail. In this context, sports biomechanics makes very important contributions to the field of movement and training sciences. High performance in sports; It has a very important role in minimizing injury and maintaining a successful sports career. In this context, the role of biomechanical factors in sports is a very important factor in both sports performance and the prevention of athlete injury and disability. Sports biomechanics can be defined as an approach that examines the movement and force distribution of athletes. In this context, in this section, biomechanical factors in high performance and injury prevention in sports are examined; It can be said that all elements in the structure of sports biomechanics are of critical importance for athletes.
