This book presents an account of innovative methods and, for most
of them, gives direct and practical insights into how practitioners
can benefit from their use in their everyday practice. It also
explains how to interpret the data measured, and the underlying
neuromechanical and biomechanical factors related to sports
performance. Written and edited by the same researchers who
proposed and validated these methods, this book not only presents
innovative methods for an efficient training and testing process
(most of which are based on very simple technology and data
processing methods), but also discusses the associated background
information. Although it is a young scientific discipline, sport
biomechanics has taken on an important role in routine sports
training, medicine and rehabilitation. It allows both a better
understanding of human locomotion and performance and better design
of training and injury prevention. In those processes, the testing
of athletes is crucial, and the quality and quantity of the
variables analysed directly influences the efficiency of
physicians', coaches', physiotherapists' and other practitioners'
interventions.
