The Development Trend of Sport Biomechanics

Sport biomechanics is a science that combines biology and mechanics. The main objective of sportbiomechanics is， in active aspect， to enhance sport performance and， in passive aspect， to preventinjury. Due to the wide scope of applications， sports biomechanics has developed into more andmore research fields which primarily cover the internal part of human body (musculoskeletalbiomechanics)， performance of human body (movement analysis) as well as the external part ofhuman body (sport equipment design). Furthermore， research methodology in sports biomechanicshas kept progressing as the new advanced instrumentation continues to be developed. Many activeand passive automated capture analysis systems have joined the line of analysis and greatlyincreased the accuracy and speed. In addition to the progress of movement analysis methods， thedevelopment of sensor also makes detecting body signals possible and opens the studies of staticsand kinetics. Due to the rapid progress of computer technology， computer simulation has been ableto be applied in biomechanics which requires faster computation speed when dealing with thecomplex structure and nonlinear property of human body as well as complicated movement createdby human. The advancement of technology and computer has enhanced the width and depth ofsports biomechanics study with more complex movement， more microcosmic changes， more preciseanalysis and prompter feedback. Therefore， the trend of future sports biomechanics will lead to thefollowing directions: far more accurate and complex computer simulation， prompter informationfeedback analysis， more sensors being used and expanded for more applications， integrate studies ofdifferent fields， and combine with sport industry to proceed practical studies.
