Abstract

: This paper comprehensively explores the application of sports biomechanics in the prevention and rehabilitation of sports injuries, covering fundamental concepts, key principles, practical applications, and future prospects. It fully illustrates the importance and potential of sports biomechanics in the field of sports medicine. Through an in-depth analysis of the definition and development of sports biomechanics, this paper emphasizes the core role of this discipline in optimizing athletic performance, preventing sports injuries, and facilitating the rehabilitation process. Furthermore, it discusses the key principles of sports biomechanics—kinematics and kinetics—and their application in analyzing athletic performance and preventing injuries. Additionally, the article introduces major techniques and methods for biomechanical assessment, such as motion capture systems, ground reaction force measurement, and electromyography, along with their application examples in athlete training, equipment design, and technique optimization. In exploring future prospects, special emphasis is placed on the potential of machine learning and artificial intelligence in improving injury prevention and rehabilitation strategies, as well as the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing the application of sports biomechanics.
