For example: Athletics - Instrumented starting blocks have been built which measure 3D force at both feet. Cycling - AIS Movement Science developed an ergo which measures pedal force, crank angle, and lower body joint kinematics in real-time. Wind tunnel testing of body position on the bike has been assessed with partner universities.
Bike set is also conducted in the lab. Kayaking - AIS Movement Science has developed a system which measures pulling force on the paddle, seat force, and boat movement. Rowing - The Peach system measures gate force and angle, seat movement, and boat movement. Sailing - A hiking bench has been developed to assess hiking technique and to evaluate changes over time with training.
Working in conjunction with Cosworth various aspects of boat and sail performance can be analysed. Skeleton - Pressure transducers have been built into the sled to measure steering patterns of skeleton athletes as they slide down the course. Ski Cross - Instrumented handles on the starting gate have been developed to allow the measurement of force and the direction it is applied in. Swimming - Wetplate system used to quantify the forces generated during starts and turns and fluid analysis to determine propulsive and resistive forces during swimming.
Case studies. Australian Paralympian Jesse Aungles discusses the important relationship between Athlete-Coach-Biomechanist and how they all work together towards a single goal. A publicly available historical collection of unpublished biomechanics research reports funded by the former National Sport Research Centre known today as the AIS Applied Research Centre.

The aim of the conference was to promote the inter-disciplinary field of sport science and computer science in order to face challenging problems in sports and exercise sciences, supported by formal models, analytical approaches and computational support.
When it comes to you and me, biomechanics normally refers to how the muscular and skeletal systems in humans function under various conditions. A biomechanic will apply engineering principles, physics and other types of mathematically based forms of analysis to learn the capabilities and limits of the human body. Sports biomechanics is a subfield within biomechanics and is its own branch of human and biological science. Essentially sport and exercise biomechanics is focused on analysing the physiological mechanics of human movement.
This includes analysis of how forces interact and the effects these forces have on and within the body. In other words biomechanics in sports examines and explains why and how the human body moves like it does. In a sport like tennis this also includes the interplay between an athlete, their environment and the equipment.
Basically, understanding biomechanics and applying it is the foundation for good technique in all sports. Biomechanics studies not only the human body but also animals and even extends to plants and the mechanical workings of cells. These are the key areas that biomechanics focuses on:. Sports biomechanics studies human motion during exercise and sports.
Physics and the laws of mechanics are applied to athletic performance. Here are some various uses for biomechanics:. Specialties within biomechanics include:. A master of science or doctorate in kinesiology can lead to a career in a biomechanics field, such as research and design by sports companies, athletic research and testing, workplace testing, and design of interfaces between humans and equipment.
A student of biomechanics will do coursework in physics, biology, anatomy, physiology, mathematics, and statistics. Laboratory equipment used includes force plates, electromyography, high-speed video motion analysis systems, digitizing equipment, accelerometers, pressure sensors, potentiometers, computer analysis programs, and modeling programs.
