Task background
Biomechanics is an area of sport science concerned with the analysis of mechanics of human movement. In other words, it is the science of explaining how and why the human body moves in the way that it does. Through analysis of biomechanical efficiency and effectiveness, sport scientists can explore sporting performance and improvement.
National sports governing bodies are aware that they need to keep abreast of developments in biomechanical analysis and technology so that their athletes are not placed at a competitive disadvantage. You have been employed to provide biomechanical advice in a sport/event of your choice. This task requires you to identify technical deficiencies in your athlete’s skill ability and explain the technical deficiencies by applying biomechanical principals that impact upon their performance.
