Forces and Torques During Sports Activities with High Accelerations

  • Chapter
Biomechanics: Current Interdisciplinary Research

Part of the book series: Developments in Biomechanics ((DEBI,volume 2))

Abstract

Load analysis is a widely discussed topic in biomechanics. Pain and injuries of joints are often related to sports activities. The main reason is the overloading of some elements of the human body. For example, the cartilage in the joints of the lower extremities is endangered during movements of the human body with high accelerations or decelerations, which occur in sports during all landings in gymnastics or track and field. Here, high impact peaks of the ground reaction force act on the human body and the question arises: What is happening in the joints during such impacts?
