  2. Strain (injury) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(injury)

    A strain can occur as a result of improper body mechanics with any activity (e.g., contact sports, lifting heavy objects) that can induce mechanical trauma or injury.. Generally, the muscle or tendon overstretches and is placed under more physical stress than it can withsta

  3. Many-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-body_problem

    The many-body problem is a general name for a vast category of physical problems pertaining to the properties of microscopic systems made of many interacting particles. Microscopic here implies that quantum mechanics has to be used to provide an accurate description of the system.

    In today's world, using computers is a necessity for the majority of people but not many people actually consider the medical consequences that working with computers can cause, such as damaged eyesight, bad posture, arthritis in fingers and computer stress injuries that can be caused by sitting in one position for a prolonged time.

  5. Sports biomechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_biomechanics

    Sports biomechanics is the quantitative based study and analysis of athletes and sports activities in general. It can simply be described as the physics of sports. Within this specialized field of biomechanics, the laws of mechanics are applied in order to gain a greater understanding of athletic performance through mathematical modeling, computer simulation and measurement.

    Environmental, operational, or design factors can all negatively impact a worker or user; examples include whole-body or hand/arm vibration, poor lighting, or poorly designed tools, equipment, or workstations. Some of the common body regions where injuries may occur include: Muscles or ligaments of the lower back; Muscles or ligaments of the neck

  7. Muscle imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_imbalance

    Muscle imbalance can be characterized by different factors, namely where the muscle imbalance is on the body, diagnosis varies for these specific areas as each area needs to be handled differently. Other signs include joint pain or muscular pain, abnormal joint movement patterns or in some cases, muscle tears and lesions. [ 11 ]

  8. Gait analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_analysis

    Gait analysis is the systematic study of animal locomotion, more specifically the study of human motion, using the eye and the brain of observers, augmented by instrumentation for measuring body movements, body mechanics, and the activity of the muscles. [1]

    Therefore, de-stigmatizing and engaging in conversations about mental health can encourage athletes to enlist help for their internal struggles throughout their sports career and during an injury. Mindfulness-based interventions that integrate the mind and body have begun to address mental health needs among high-level athletes.
