Practical Applications
## Physics Keeps You Moving!
Every time you walk, jump, or lift, physics is at play. Biomechanics applies physics to understand how muscles, bones, and joints work together.
- Forces and levers explain how you lift objects.
- Understanding stress on bones helps prevent injuries.
- Prosthetics and physical therapy are designed using biomechanics principles.
This knowledge helps athletes improve and doctors treat injuries.
Examples
- Physical therapists use levers to design exercises for recovery.
- Engineers create better running shoes to reduce injury risk.
