After evaluation, 73 articles were included for synthesis in this review. The included studies had a mean score (± SD) of 9.14 ± 1.76 points regarding the quality assessment. The present review identified three distinct domains of variables: kinematics (including stroke kinematics and coordination parameters), active drag, and energetics. The findings underscored the pivotal role of stroke kinematics, including stroke rate, stroke length, stroke index, and intra-cyclic variations of velocity, in influencing energy cost during breaststroke swimming. Additionally, the analysis highlighted the significance of propulsive and non-propulsive phases, arm-to-leg timing, and buoyancy in breaststroke technique. Notably, breaststroke exhibited higher values of active drag, frontal area, and energy cost, while maintaining lower velocity compared to other swimming techniques. Overall, this synthesis of literature highlights the holistic nature of energy cost in breaststroke swimming.","PeriodicalId":49482,"journal":{"name":"Sports Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1803-1843"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142630988","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}

To address this issue, the development of a low-cost and user-friendly smartphone application could have practical applications for team sports staffs. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the My Jump Lab application for the measurement of the curved sprint performance test. Correlational, comparative, and Bland-Altman analyses were conducted to assess the validity and reliability of the application in comparison with the gold-standard device. The results demonstrated excellent concurrent validity (r = 0.97-0.99, p < 0.001), and acceptable reliability (coefficient of variation < 3%, intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.88-0.96). Bland-Altman plots revealed small biases (-0.015 s and -0.010 s for the 17-m and 8.5 m curved sprints, respectively) and narrow 95% limits of agreement (-0.04 to 0.01 s and -0.03 to 0.01 s), indicating string agreement and no heteroskedasticity. Although small but significant differences were observed between test and retest sessions (p < 0.05), the overall findings support that My Jump Lab is a valid and reliable tool for assessing completion time during the curved sprint test in the specified arc, offering a cost-effective alternative for applied sport settings.","PeriodicalId":49482,"journal":{"name":"Sports Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144530717","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}

Higher VO2max group demonstrated a stable contribution across all intensity thresholds. Lower VO2max group increased the AB contribution by approximately 9% at both ventilatory thresholds from the start, while the rib cage contribution (ST + IT) decreased by approximately 17% from quiet breathing to exercise (p < 0.005). Coordination between ST vs. AB and IT vs. AB showed significant differences, with the Lower VO2max group demonstrating lower values and a greater effect size compared to the Higher VO2max group (p < 0.005).

Assessing human movement underwater presents many challenges, making it important to understand measurement error associated with the setup and calibration of the system ensuring accuracy in resulting kinematics. This study assessed the accuracy across the entire domain of a submerged motion capture methodology. Six Qualisys cameras created an underwater capture volume of 6.9 × 2.1 × 2.1 m3. Average error levels were acceptable in four uncertainty trials (<<math><mo>±</mo></math> 5 mm error). By selecting an area of interest that excluded areas with low accuracy near domain borders, measurement error reduced by up to 0.13 mm, up to 1.27 mm lower than outside this area. Interpolated error indicated that intracyclic measurement error may alter measured kinematics by up to 13.80 mm, with error greater than 5 mm affecting over 50% of the kick cycle. Investigating error levels across the domain can inform researchers whether a recalibration is necessary or help to identify areas where high error levels would affect kinematics. This study highlights the need to investigate error levels across a motion capture domain, particularly when this is a large volume, to ensure results obtained from investigations are reliable.","PeriodicalId":49482,"journal":{"name":"Sports Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144250546","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}

Identifying the physical characteristics associated with peak VGRF is essential for injury prevention. The relationship between peak VGRF and maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of the thigh muscle is weak, possibly because MVC does not reflect the muscle strength exerted at the knee joint posture and timing when peak VGRF occurs. This study explored the relationship between peak VGRF during landing and the rate of torque development (RTD), a measure of the rapid generation of muscle force, assessed at three different knee joint flexion angles. RTD and MVC of the quadriceps and hamstrings were measured in 36 physically active adults (18 males) using an isokinetic dynamometer at 30° and 60° knee joint flexion angles, simulating the joint angle at landing, and at a conventional 90° knee joint flexion angle. Results showed a significant negative correlation between hamstring RTD at 30° knee flexion and peak VGRF (r = -0.71, p = 0.001), but no significant correlations were found with others. Therefore, it is important to assess muscle strength at the posture and timing when peak VGRF occurs to reduce peak VGRF and prevent injury.","PeriodicalId":49482,"journal":{"name":"Sports Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144250547","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}

Fourteen amateur cyclists performed sub-maximal cycling trials with five different crank lengths, preferred (165.0-172.5 mm), ±5 and 10 mm. An RPE prescription method determined intensity, and three-dimensional kinematics were collected using Vicon motion capture. Statistical parametric mapping was employed to analyse lower body kinematics. Changes in crank length had no effect on the mean power output (199.1 ± 50.5 W). However, minor reductions were associated with significant decreases in knee (0-24%; 58-100%) and hip (0-13%) flexion as well as increases in the anterior pelvic tilt (0-40%; 74-100%). Additionally, shorter cranks resulted in less pelvic obliquity and rotation, hip abduction and knee rotation. Minor reductions in crank length can decrease hip and knee flexion, can limit non-sagittal plane motion and could serve as an effective bike manipulation to reduce the risk of overuse injury. Shorter cranks also enable riders to achieve anterior pelvic tilt and could limit stress on the lumbar spine. As minor adjustments did not impact power output, crank length alterations should be considered during bike fits and by bike manufacturers.","PeriodicalId":49482,"journal":{"name":"Sports Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144217373","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}

Fifteen runners participated in an overground motion analysis study. Since footwear kinetics are methodologically challenging to quantify, we leveraged distal rearfoot power analyses ('foot + footwear' power) and evaluated changes in the magnitude and timing of foot + footwear power and lower limb joint powers. Running in Advanced Footwear resulted in greater foot + footwear work, compared to Traditional Shoes, and lower positive ankle work, potentially reducing the muscular demand on the runner. The timing of foot + footwear power varied only slightly across footwear. There are exciting innovation opportunities to manipulate the timing of footwear energy and return.

Twenty-nine young professional ballet dancers (17 with LBP and 12 healthy controls) were recruited. Muscle strength and mechanical properties of the erector spinae and hamstrings were assessed. The displacement of centre of mass (COM) during Arabesque under different shoe conditions (R-class, Chacott, and own shoes) was measured with a motion capture system. The LBP group exhibited greater dynamic stiffness and decreased mechanical stress relaxation time in the lateral hamstring compared to the control group. During Arabesque, the LBP group demonstrated significantly greater anterior-posterior displacement of the COM and a larger percentage of time to achieve maximal trunk extension angle. The COM displacement in vertical and medial-lateral directions was smaller in the R-class than in their own shoes. LBP impacts muscle mechanical properties, particularly in the lateral hamstring. The compromised muscle function resulted in a longer time to spinal extension during Arabesque, signifying that reduced trunk control contributed to greater COM displacement.

A total of 13 elite male athletes (16.8 ± 1.5 years) voluntarily participated in the study. The athletes' shoulder internal-external rotation, extension-flexion and abduction-adduction strengths were measured with 5-5-15 repetitions at 60°/s, 180°/s, 240°/s angular velocities. Later, the athletes' 1st, 2nd, and average serve ball speeds were determined using a handheld radar gun. Significant correlations were found between ball speed and isokinetic tennis serve strength (r = 0.556-0.819; p < 0.05). The correlations between ball speed and isokinetic strength performance were higher at 180°/s and 240°/s angular velocities. Extension (240°/s; r = 0.819), flexion (180°/s; r = 0.755), abduction (240°/s; r = 0.733), adduction (240°/s; r = 0.684) and internal rotation (180°/s; r = 0.803) were highly correlated with ball velocity.
