Empowering athletes: The application of biomechanics in physical education teaching
Abstract
Biomechanics is an investigation of the mechanical and physiological aspects of human movement. By relying more on this field, educators can give better teaching to their students. Applying biomechanical concepts can help athletes enhance their performance by increasing their knowledge of efficient movement, approach optimization, and injury prevention. As a result, athletes can potentially improve their overall performance. The significant problems highlighted in the study that identify these impediments include inadequate resources, resistance to implementing new teaching methods, and a shortage of physical education instructors with specific experience. The Conceptual Pedagogical Physical Education Strategic Frameworks (CPPESF) method has been developed and is now being shared to address these issues. This approach provides a holistic strategy for incorporating biomechanical principles into the curriculum through organized modules, activities encouraging active involvement, and ongoing professional development for teachers. The CPPESF aims to give physical education instructors the tools they need to teach their students biomechanics advantageously. Numerous simulation evaluations show that CPPESF helps enhance students’ athletic performance, reduce injuries, and increase their engagement in physically active games and activities. Using simulations, students can see and analyze the practical application of biomechanical concepts. This engaging and hands-on learning experience is truly distinctive. This approach additionally encourages lifelong physical activity and wellness by providing a greater understanding of bodily mechanisms. It helps athletes maximize their training routines, which boosts their power overall. The research presented here shows that biomechanics can revolutionize future athletes’ self-awareness and competence and support the expansion of CPPESF in physical education programs. The proposed method increases the Athletic Performance Improvement Analysis ratio of99.8%, Injury Reduction Analysis ratio of 91.2%, Simulation Efficacy Analysis ratio of 92.4%, Resource Accessibility Analysis ratio of 97.9%, Curriculum Integration and Flexibility Analysis ratio of 98.3% compared to existing methods.
