Abstract

Biomechanics the application of mechanical principles to human movement has become central to modern sports training and rehabilitation. By quantifying motion (kinematics), forces (kinetics), and neuromuscular activity, biomechanics informs technique refinement, load management, injury prevention, and evidence-based rehabilitation strategies. This paper reviews core biomechanical concepts and measurement tools, describes how biomechanical insights are used in performance training and clinical rehabilitation, presents representative case examples (sprinting, ACL injury prevention/recovery, and return-to-play after hamstring strain), and discusses practical implementation challenges and future directions. Emphasis is placed on translating laboratory evidence into coach-friendly, field-applicable interventions that improve athlete outcomes while safeguarding health.

Keywords: Biomechanics, Sports Training, Rehabilitation, Motion Capture, Wearable Sensors, Injury Prevention, Return-To-Play
