Sports Biomechanics: Theories, Examples, and Data Analysis provides readers with a thorough introduction to the mechanical principles behind sports performance and injury assessment. The book blends essential biomechanical theories with practical, data-based examples, emphasizing hands-on learning through step-by-step MATLAB analyses. By connecting theory with the process of data collection, it guides readers in understanding how raw data is gathered and transformed using specific analytical techniques. Through detailed explanations and real-world examples, the book aims to demystify the complexities of biomechanical analysis and foster a deeper comprehension of how to quantify athletic performance and assess injury risks.

In addition, this book offers valuable extras, including sample data, instructional videos, illustrative figures, and MATLAB scripts to help calculate key variables in a range of sports and movements. Readers are encouraged to replicate the data collection and analysis procedures, thereby gaining transferable skills useful in different environments. Although the book centers on MATLAB, its programming approaches apply to other similar software, empowering readers to ask informed questions and understand automated data processing across various platforms.

Offers sample raw data for a range of sports movements, addressing the challenges researchers and practitioners encounter when dealing with massive datasets and uncertain data processing techniques
Includes MATLAB scripts, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical data processing
Emphasizes the importance of specific techniques and their relevance to real-world sports biomechanics problems

Dr. Boyi Dai is a professor in the Division of Kinesiology and Health at the University of Wyoming. His research areas include sports biomechanics, injury biomechanics, and ergonomics, with a focus on jump-landing mechanics and anterior cruciate ligament injury prevention and perturbation and fall prevention. Dr. Dai is an associate editor for Sports Biomechanics and an editorial board member for Research in Sports Medicine and BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders. He is a fellow of and serves as the Vice President of Research and Projects for the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports. Dr. Gerwyn Hughes is an Associate Professor in the Kinesiology Department at the University of San Francisco. Dr. Hughes’s main area of research is gender differences in landing and/or cutting biomechanics associated with non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury. He has also published research in the areas of golf ball kinematics during putting, the biomechanics of simulated ankle sprains, and the use of mobile technology for in-field monitoring of athletes. Dr. Hughes currently serves as an Associate Editor for the journal Sports Biomechanics and is a member of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports. Dr. Steve Leigh is an associate professor in the School of Kinesiology at Marshall University. He teaches courses in biomechanical analysis, instrumentation, and data processing. His research interest is the role of 3-D visual perception in the production of coordinated throwing and grasping skills. He is an Associate Member of the Institute of Physics and Marshall University's Student Success Fellow.
