A study shows how the biomechanical analysis applied to basketball best the physical performance and mental health of the students who practice it, reducing anxiety and stress.
The sportyou know, it’s not alone competitionbut also prevention And well being. Yet another confirmation comes from a study published on Molecular & Cellular Biomechanics which reveals how the practice of basketballintegrated with theanalyses biomechanicscan positively influence the Health physics And mental of university students.
The work, signed by the Chinese researcher Wei Wang of the Hennan Polytechnic Institute (China), explores the combined effect of movements optimized and physical activity onbody and on psyche. Using advanced technologies, such as sensors wearable and systems of monitoring of movementsfundamental biomechanical parameters have been analyzed: distribution of forces, activation musclekinematic of joints during jumps, racing And shots.
Biomechanical analysis: from body to mind
But what is, in concrete terms, Biomechanical analysis? In this context it is the scientific study of the movement of body human during sports. Through tools like sensors And platforms Of Forceresearchers evaluate how the joints move, which muscles are activated and how it is distributed it effort physicist. This information allows you to identify and correct any inefficiencies or overloadmaking the movements more fluid, effective and safe.
The results show that the improvement of the postureof thealignment bodily and the efficiency of movements not only enhances sports performance and reduces accidents, but It also has a direct impact on psychological well -being. Greater body stability and better proprioception favor concentration, regulation emotional and resilience to stress.
How the evaluation took place: the test
Through the psychological test Scl-90 (Syptom Checklist-90)a clinical tool made up of 90 questions that evaluate the presence and intensity of symptoms psychological out of 9 dimensions (such as anxiety, depression, obsessiveness And paranoia), the team highlighted a high incidence of problems between students, including anxiety, depression, interpersonal sensitivity and obsessions. However the integration of programs Of activity physics guided by biomechanics has shown positive effects in reducing symptoms and in the increase in self -efficacy and Perceived wellness.
The study proposes an innovative educational model: insert in university programs courses sportsmen based on biomechanics, in particular centered on the basketballto face in a way scientifically founded the challenges of the mental health and students of the students. An integration between body and mind that is good, inside and off the pitch.
