Biomechanics is important because...

the knowledge gathered can assist athletes and coach to improve results; develop and practice the most efficient and effective technique

it can help develop and enhance equipment

increases the chance of prolonging an athletes sporting career

it combines technique with principles for a more efficient, smooth movement, less energy expenditure and better accuracy
