Summary Introduction

To explain: How knowledge of biomechanics may be useful in intended profession or carrier.

Introduction: Biomechanics is the application of mechanical principles in the study of living organisms. Knowledge of biomechanics will help to analyze the problem effectively and find better solutions.

Explanation of Solution

Knowledge on biomechanics provides a fundamental understanding of mechanical principles and their applications in analyzing movement of the human body. Its knowledge is essential for the physical education teacher, personal trainer, physician, physical therapist, coach or exercise instructor. Its knowledge will help to judge why swimming is not the best exercise for the persons suffering from osteoporosis. It will help to study the clinical and scientific aspects of exercise and sport.

Moreover, thoughts on being in a digital era in which gadgets or VR can be a help in making the workplace uncomplicated. Examples of scenarios are the housekeepers and cooks: San Francisco hotel employees reported work-related pain or discomfort. That same year, the American Journal of Industrial Medicine published another study that reported that 62% of all housekeeping injuries were identified as musculoskeletal disorders, such as tendinopathy and arthritis. The biggest problem in the kitchen, though, is heat. While this not only presents physical health risks, it also creates stress in an already high-pressure environment. “If you take the heat out of the kitchen, it becomes more calm and collected,” explains Pedretti. “So you have to look at the type of equipment you put in there.”
