Spanish term or phrase: biomecánico
Quisiera saber cómo se traduce "biomecánico" en el campo deportivo ya que las opciones que tengo no me convencen.
El término se encuentra dentro de un cuadro sinóptico donde se nombran los profesionales de apoyo dentro de un equipo deportivo (entre ellos, psicólogos, médicos,kinesiólogos, etc).

Muchas gracias

Biomechanics


Explanation:
Biomechanics is a sports science sub-discipline which is able to quantify the potential effect of training exercises, rather than leaving it to the coaches "gut feel".

In explosive events like the field events, athletes of all abilities require high levels of leg power to be successful. Power is a term that is used loosely by a number of coaches, therefore, a correct definition is necessary. Strictly speaking power is the product of force and velocity, thus, power is the expression of strength at speed.

It sounds like biomechanics is the name of the field and biomechanical would be how you refer to biomechanics: biomechanical information; biomechanical support, etc.
