This journal publishes research on the biomechanics of human movement in sports and physical activity. Articles analyze factors such as joint kinematics, ground reaction forces, and muscle power generation to understand performance and injury risk across various athletic tasks and populations. The research also explores the application of technology, including motion capture and machine learning, for biomechanical analysis and event detection.
Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
