The unilateral upper limb repetitive movements of this sport may lead to shoulder structural and functional adaptations, which may alter muscle mechanics, however evidence is limited. We aimed to investigate if there is morphological, mechanical and functional shoulder symmetry between upper limbs of professional padel players. Fourthteen (7♂ and 7♀) professional Brazilian padel players were evaluated at supraspinatus muscle thickness (MT), stiffness, shoulder rotation range of motion (ROM), shoulder internal and external rotation peak torques and their ratios (ER/IR) and fatigue index torque. Subsequently, were compared all variables between dominant and non-dominant sides (α = 0.05). Total work, IR and ER absolute and normalised torque were higher in the dominant limb (p < 0.05). Moreover, 78% and 64% of the athletes presented reduced ER/IR peak torque ratio values in the dominant and non-dominant upper limb, respectively. No differences in supraspinatus MT, stiffness and shoulder ROM were found. Our study found that Brazilian professional padel players have asymmetrical shoulder ER/IR peak torques ratio. Therefore, it's recommended for padel players to strengthen the ER of the dominant shoulder and both IR and ER of the non-dominant shoulder to address side-asymmetry and reduced ER peak torques.","PeriodicalId":49482,"journal":{"name":"Sports Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty-two elite male athletes performed 30-s AJRS tasks wearing shoes with LBS measured at 3.1 Nm/rad (no-carbon-fibre-plate jump rope shoes, NS), 5.1 Nm/rad (low-stiffness-carbon-fibre-plate jump rope shoes, LS) and 7.6 Nm/rad (high-stiffness-carbon-fibre-plate jump rope shoes, HS). Motion capture tracked lower extremity kinematics. The HS shoes exhibited a more ground contacts in the first stage (p < 0.05) and a shorter average ground contact time (p < 0.05). The HS exhibited a smaller metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) extension angle during 30-44% of the stance phase (p < 0.05), smaller MARP (mean absolute relative phase) of the MTPJ-ankle segments (p < 0.001) and smaller CRP (continuous relative phase) during 24-45% of the stance phase (p < 0.05). Coordination variability of the MTPJ-ankle segments was negatively correlated with the number of ground contacts during AJRS (p < 0.01, adjust R2 = 0.192). HS could provide enhanced stability by reducing coordination variability and enhance performance during the first stage in ARJS. These findings could provide insights for guiding future research and development in jump rope shoe design.","PeriodicalId":49482,"journal":{"name":"Sports Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143469770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the swivel seat on kinematics and performance during sprint paddling on an ergometer. Nine experienced kayakers volunteered for this study and each completed two maximal trials of 30 s on the ergometer, one with the swivel seat and the other with a fixed seat. Three-dimensional motion analysis and performance data were collected at 200 Hz during the central 10 s of each trial. The use of the swivel seat was observed to improve performance through a significant increase in peak fly-wheel RPM (p = 0.033) and paddle antero-posterior displacement (p = 0.015) and a significant decrease in right side paddle recovery time (p = 0.043). In conclusion, the use of the swivel seat was associated with kinematic changes that improved performance and decreased the risk of excessive spine rotation. These results offer new insights into understanding the implications of swivel seat use for the dynamics of kayaking.","PeriodicalId":49482,"journal":{"name":"Sports Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143442559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to previous biomechanical studies, jump heights do not change significantly even with more rotational jumps. However, strategies employed by top skaters to acquire new jumps are unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate specific kinematic strategies used by skaters to perform the quadruple axel jump (4A), focusing on two skaters (skaters A and B) who attempted this jump in competitions. Using data from the Ice Scope tracking system, this study analysed the vertical height, horizontal distance, take-off speed, landing speed, and height-to-distance ratio of the jumps. Both skaters achieved higher vertical heights in their 4A attempts than in their triple axel jump (3A) attempts. Notably, Skater A's successful 4A and Skater B's downgraded 4A had significantly greater vertical heights than the average 3As among world-class skaters. This suggests a strategic shift towards increasing the vertical height to master 4As, contrary to previous biomechanical research that did not emphasise vertical height. These findings update existing theories on figure skating research and provide insights into training strategies for mastering difficult jumps.","PeriodicalId":49482,"journal":{"name":"Sports Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143416007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lateral footwork is crucial in tennis, and variations in the athletes' physical characteristics can affect footwork efficiency. Flat feet hinder forward propulsion; however, their relationship to lateral propulsion remains unclear. Thus, this study focused on foot morphology among other physical traits. Seventeen male university tennis players were evaluated using the navicular drop test and categorised into the flat foot (eight participants) and normal foot (nine participants) groups. The kinematic and kinetic data during the crossover step movements were collected using a three-dimensional motion analysis system and force plates. Although no significant intergroup differences in lateral propulsion, represented by the lateral peak acceleration of the centre of mass, were observed, individuals with flat feet exhibited significantly higher ankle maximum dorsiflexion angles and maximum eversion moments than those with normal feet. Individuals with flat feet are likely to compensate for functional deficits by increasing muscle activity, which may increase the risk of injury. Further research on muscle activity during sports movements and injury prevalence is necessary to improve the prevention and treatment strategies.","PeriodicalId":49482,"journal":{"name":"Sports Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143383659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the measurement of throwing pole forces in seated shot put has not been reported previously in the research literature, leading to a considerable barrier to a better understanding and optimisation of performance. In this research, the first set of pole force measurements in seated throwing is presented, along with a comparison between two methods for such measurement: a direct load-sensing and a deflection-based method, where the latter requires considerably less specialised equipment than the former. From this, the measurement of pole forces without an instrumented pole is found to be feasible (RMSE < 10%), thus providing a simpler option for the measurement of pole forces in seated throwing. In addition, unexpected resonant pole effects (5-6 Hz) are observed during the throw which may have an interaction with the way athletes apply force to the pole. The methods and findings presented are intended to provide a platform for future research.","PeriodicalId":49482,"journal":{"name":"Sports Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143257127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
