Issues in Sports Biomechanics

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Developments in Biomechanics ((DEBI,volume 2))

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to consider three current issues in sports biomechanics. The issues to be addressed are the development of a satisfactory procedure for the qualitative analysis of human movements; the provision of biomechanical support services to coaches and athletes; and the relative merits of cross-sectional and longitudinal approaches in sports biomechanics.
