Introduction
The rationale behind this research is to investigate the current techniques that are used in the
collection and processing of biomechanical information in exercise. evidence based research has
provided a variety of techniques and this study aims to appraise the current techniques
According to past researchers the efficiency of the human movement can be improved in many
ways. This is because movement required anatomical factors, cognitive abilities, psychological
capacities and neuromuscular skills. By modifying these aspects, it is possible to identify the
optima techniques that can be used to enhance the sports performance of an athlete. This
information can also be used to analyze body loading to find the safest method to perform a
certain sport or exercise. Through biomechanics, it is possible to assess the muscular loading and
recruitment. Some sports and exercise equipment companies use this information to help in the
manufacture of shoes and sports equipment.
Biomechanics provide a method of ensuring efficient movement and reducing the risk of
developing an injury. When an individual is participating in a sport or is exercising, it is
important to consider faulty biomechanics as a risk factor for injury. A faulty or abnormal
biomechanics may arise form anatomical abnormalities such as shoe build up. Some anatomical
anomalies such as discrepancies in the leg length can not be alter and the individual should avoid
extreme sports to reduce the risk of injury. Faulty biomechanics can also occur form functional
abnormalities such as a muscle imbalance following a long rest period that has little mobilization
There are several biomechanical principles which can be used in the collection and analysis of
biomechanics. The principles include the principle of force, linked segments, principle of stretch

shore cycle, the principle of summing joint forces, principle of continuity of joint forces,
principle of impulse direction, principle of rotational motion, principle of moment of inertia and
its manipulation, and finally the principle of stress causing strain
this information relates to the current study because this study collected data from participant
who were participating in an exercise. the participant was analyzed, and the biomechanics of the
participants was collected. The biomechanical principles were analyzed and using the various
laws and equations were used to explain the motion of bodies during exercises.
The aim of this study is to compare the various variables in a biomechanical data from an
exercise session. Data will be collected from the athletes during exercise and the information will
be combined. The various variable will be tallied, and the findings of the result will be collected
and analyzed.
It is hypothesized that altering the various variables will result in either improvement of the
biomechanics or will result in faulty biomechanics. The variables can also be used to make the
exercise more efficient and enhance the performance of the athlete
Methods
The participants selected for this study were individuals who were aged between 19 and 24
years. A total of 15 participants were selected. The participants were both male and female and
the selection criteria was random. There was a total of 11 males and 4 females. The mean age
was 20.7 years. The participants selected for this study had a height of above 1.5 m and below
1.9 m. The height of each participant as recorded and rounded up to the nearest centimeter. In
addition, the mass of the participants played a major role in the collection of data. The weight of
the participants was recoded ad the BMI was analyzed.
