Body mechanics are important for health and fitness, but they also impact sports performance. Paying close attention to how it feels when you are performing a movement can give you physical feedback about your body mechanics---this is called proprioception. How can teachers, trainers, or fellow sports participants help an athlete understand their body mechanics in motion to improve performance? discuss one individual sport or activity and how others can assist a participant to improve body mechanics, and therefore, performance. You could use swimming, track and field, dance, tennis, or any other individual or dual fitness activity.
