Description

Systems biology is an interdisciplinary field of science that seeks to understand complex biological systems by studying their interactions and behaviors at multiple levels. Biomechanics is a complementary discipline of systems biology that merges principles of biology and mechanics to explore the mechanics of living organisms. It studies how biological systems, from cells to organisms, function mechanically. This field applies principles of physics and engineering to understand the structure, function, and motion of biological systems. Biomechanics examines the various aspects of biological motion such as the coordination between muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments to produce movement, the forces acting on the body during physical activities, and the impact of external factors like environment and equipment on human performance. It plays a crucial role in diverse fields including sports science, rehabilitation, ergonomics, and orthopedics. This book provides significant information of the discipline of biomechanics to help develop a good understanding of biological movement and related fields. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of biomechanics and the recent researches in this field. This book is a vital tool for all researching and studying this field.
