The continuous scientific advancement in sporting arena has made sports training more purposive, factual and very specific then ever. Sports scientists are leaving nothing to enhance in order to find out the performance enhancing and affecting factor as well as the best result oriented training systems for every sports.

Biomechanics is an applied form of mechanics and consequently the method used to investigate, it must be derived from those of mechanics. However, bio mechanics have not developed in the wake of mechanics but as bordering science in other scientific discipline such as anatomy physiology and technique of sports.

Biomechanics is a specific field which evaluates the motion of a living organism (in this program's manual we are only concerned with human beings) and the actions of forces on that organism. We can look at biomechanics as a combination of several different areas of study. This would include anatomy and physiology, kinematics (the study of motion without regard to its causes), kinesiology (the study of human movement) and kinetics (the study of forces acting on a system).

Understanding biomechanics, human moment and joint function allows the fitness trainer and wellness professional to have a deeper understanding of how to train an athlete or fitness training client
