This comprehensive book offers a detailed account of innovative methods and provides direct and practical insights into how practitioners can harness their benefits in their daily practice. It also elucidates the interpretation of data measured and the underlying neuromechanical and biomechanical factors associated with sports performance. Authored and meticulously edited by the same researchers who proposed and validated these methods, this book goes beyond presenting innovative techniques for an efficient training and testing process. It delves into the associated background information, offering a comprehensive understanding of the field. While sport biomechanics is a relatively young scientific discipline, it has assumed a significant role in routine sports training, medicine, and rehabilitation. It enables a deeper comprehension of human locomotion and performance, leading to improved designs of training and injury prevention strategies. The testing of athletes is paramount in these processes, and the quality and quantity of variables analyzed directly impact the effectiveness of interventions by physicians, coaches, physiotherapists, and other practitioners.
