Comparative biomechanics is the application of biomechanics to non-human organisms, whether used to gain greater insights into humans (as in physical anthropology) or into the functions, ecology and adaptations of the organisms themselves. Common areas of investigation are Animal locomotion and feeding, as these have strong connections to the organism's fitness and impose high mechanical demands. Animal locomotion, has many manifestations, including running, jumping and flying. Locomotion requires energy to overcome friction, drag, inertia, and gravity, though which factor predominates varies with environment.

The longer the moment arm, the more force will be applied to the joint. In other words, a longer moment arm will make the exercise feel “harder.” To lift a heavy object, the person lifting must produce an upward force greater than the weight of the object, otherwise, it will not move. [19] Although it wasn’t recognized as a formal discipline until the 20th century, biomechanics has been studied by the likes of Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, and Aristotle. Galileo Galilei was interested in the strength of bones and suggested that bones are hollow because this affords maximum strength with minimum weight. He noted that animals' bone masses increased disproportionately to their size. Consequently, bones must also increase disproportionately in girth rather than mere size. This is because the bending strength of a tubular structure (such as a bone) is much more efficient relative to its weight. Mason suggests that this insight was one of the first grasps of the principles of biological optimization. [20]

Understanding biomechanics is the key to an in-depth approach to proper movement, whether it be for rehabilitation and injury prevention or improving your form and enhancing your performance. (And that goes for any kind of movement, not just sports-related ones!)

An example of a gaseous biofluids problem is that of human respiration. Recently, respiratory systems in insects have been studied for bioinspiration for designing improved microfluidic devices.

No angular momentum can be gained while in the air because no external force creates a torque on the body. However, angular momentum is the product of angular velocity and the moment of inertia, or how mass is distributed around the axis of rotation. A jumper in the air can control angular velocity by manipulating the moment of inertia. Bringing body segments closer to the axis of rotation decreases the moment of inertia and increases angular velocity, while moving segments farther from the axis of rotation decreases angular velocity. The angular momentum stays constant. Static balance: the ability to maintain postural stability and orientation with centre of mass over the base of support and body at rest [11] It was many years after Borelli before the field of bio-mechanics made any major leaps. After that time, more and more scientists took to learning about the human body and its functions. There are not many notable scientists from the 19th or 20th century in bio-mechanics because the field is far too vast now to attribute one thing to one person. However, the field is continuing to grow every year and continues to make advances in discovering more about the human body. Because the field became so popular, many institutions and labs have opened over the last century and people continue doing research. With the Creation of the American Society of Bio-mechanics in 1977, the field continues to grow and make many new discoveries. [19]

Optimal biomechanics will present with lower risk and higher reward. If you use optimal biomechanics, you will have a lower risk of injuring yourself while providing an optimal environment for strengthening and loading a muscle.
