Biomechanics for All: How to Move Better & Avoid Injury
Hi everyone, Hossein here from PoseIQ
Today I want to quickly explain how basic biomechanics helps us move better and avoid injury—using the mae geri (front kick) as an example.
When you extend your leg, the quadriceps create the kicking force.
But the hamstrings still play an important role: they act as brakes, stabilizing the knee so you don’t hyperextend or overload the ligaments.
This is the key idea:
Performance muscles and stabilizing muscles must work together.
If your quads get strong but your hamstrings stay weak, the movement becomes faster—but the knee becomes less safe.
You don’t need fancy equipment to understand this.
Just think about where a muscle attaches and what happens when it contracts. This alone tells you which muscles are active.
So whether you're trying to kick faster or avoid injury, always train both:
Prime movers (like quads) for power
Stabilizers (like hamstrings and hip muscles) for control
Performance and injury prevention are two sides of the same coin—and both matter for long-term training.
More on this in the next videos. Thanks for watching!
