Introduction with history
In the course of getting adequately prepared to undertake various tasks, it is understood that each task will require their own specific ways of approach. There is a need therefore to get both mentally and physically ready to enable one to attain the required standards and levels of performance. Therefore, this is imperative in everyday life and most importantly in sporting activities.
Sports require physical fitness, and we have numerous ways and techniques of attaining this fitness. Studies have been conducted and elaborated the need for continuous research and innovations to enable athletes and sportsmen attain needed standards of performance to deliver on expectations. Usage of specific tools (mechanization) for …show more content…

The forces entail pushing and pulling and their variations and names being considered. Therefore Biomechanics is the study that involves the physics in sports. Human body applies and uses these forces to objects causing them to move or affect their movement. This is to say that, for actions, there must be a related force. Human body flexibility is brought by joints, skeleton and skeletal muscles controlled by the nervous system. A body muscle plays an important role in controlling the movement of the joints and therefore determines the flexibility of the whole body. They are ones responsible for generating the effort needed. The joints mostly act as the pivot and the body is the load in case of push-ups. Biomechanics in sports exercise tries to understand the forces that are present from the human body and their effects on the shape, structure, size and movement of the body. The essence of understanding biomechanics is to uplift the coordination of these forces from various muscle groups (Juan, Suprak, Roach& Lyda, 2015) so as to generate required effects. This is real physics as is an attempt to study joints and muscles and the physical behaviors. We then use these characteristics for our advantage. A good technique result to effective performance in movements and reduced risk of injury by ensuring improved distribution of forces and avoiding overloading. The opposite will result in a high-level rate of injury and therefore reduce the performance
