This paper presents many common areas of interest of different specialists. There are problems described from sport, biomechanics, sport biomechanics, sport engineering, robotics, biomechanics and robotics, sport biomechanics and robotics. There are many approaches to sport from different sciences and engineering. Robotics is a relatively new area and has had m...

Success in tennis requires a mix of player talent, good coaching, appropriate equipment, and an understanding of those aspects of sport science pertinent to the game. This paper outlines the role that biomechanics plays in player development from sport science and sport medicine perspectives. Biomechanics is a key area in player development because all strokes have a fundamental mechanical stru...

Sport-related concussion is still considered by many as a hidden epidemic in sports medicine. Despite the fact that this condition is not visible by neuroimaging, current research has allowed clinicians to better understand the condition. This chapter will discuss sport-related concussion in the context of the biomechanics and pathomechanics involved with injury. We will further explore how his...

5 the golf swing based on golf handicap. J Sci Med Sport 2012; 15:250–254. The Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport is a multidisciplinary ournal that publishes research findings across a broad range of ports science and sports medicine disciplines. Whilst this can pose hallenges at times in relation to the many disciplines we need to onsider in achieving a balance of content that sits well...

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 15382 “Modeling and Simulation of Sport Games, Sport Movements, and Adaptations to Training”. The primary goal of the seminar was the continuation of the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinarity research in sports and computer science with the emphasis on modeling and simulation technologies. In this seminar, experts on mod...

This article discusses the main substantive issues surrounding performance analysis and considers future directions in this recently formed sub-discipline of sport science. It is argued that it is insufficient to bring together sport biomechanics and notational analysis on the basis that they share a number of commonalities, such as they both aim to enhance performance, they both make extensive...
