    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Computational Modeling
    • Human Body Simulation

    Background:

    • Biomechanical modeling is crucial for understanding human movement and injury.
    • Existing models range from physical representations to complex mathematical simulations.
    • Advancements are needed for accurate sport and locomotion analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the current state of biomechanical modeling techniques.
    • To categorize and discuss physical and mathematical modeling approaches.
    • To outline considerations for developing sport and locomotion models.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of literature on physical models (scale models, anthropomorphic dummies).
    • Classification and discussion of mathematical models: deformable element (lumped parameter, discrete parameter, finite element, continuum) and rigid body representations.

  • Analysis of techniques for sport and locomotion model construction, including static/dynamic models, Newtonian/Lagrangian equations, and indeterminate systems.

    • Main Results:

    • Physical models offer tangible but limited representations.
    • Mathematical models, particularly finite element and rigid body types, are prevalent for detailed human body segment analysis.
    • Specific methodologies exist for constructing dynamic and static models for sport and locomotion.

    Conclusions:

    • Biomechanical modeling encompasses diverse physical and mathematical strategies.
    • Mathematical computer simulation models are highly versatile for analyzing human body dynamics.
    • The choice of modeling approach depends on the specific application, such as sport or locomotion analysis.
