Preface
“Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again”. Although these words were spoken of the French writer and Nobel laureate André Gide, they also seem to be relevant (at least in part) to exact sciences. Biomechanics is quite a young field of science and is developing rapidly. Currently, many conferences in the field of biomechanics research are organized. Also, a large number of international journals (including those interdisciplinary) willingly publish articles in the field of biomechanics. I think I can be tempted to say that biomechanics and its research methods have become trendy in some way. Biomechanics mainly operate with terms borrowed from classical mechanics. However, biomechanics combines the knowledge of anatomy, biology, physics, physiology, medicine and sport science, among others. Therefore, the subject matter of biomechanics is very broad. What may be an advantage of the above situation can also be a disadvantage. Mechanics (or physics) terms have been precisely defined only for a limited set of objects or phenomena. Unfortunately, due to the interdisciplinary nature of biomechanics, many terms are used impre
