  2. Sports biomechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_biomechanics

    Sports biomechanics is the quantitative based study and analysis of athletes and sports activities in general. It can simply be described as the physics of sports. Within this specialized field of biomechanics, the laws of mechanics are applied in order to gain a greater understanding of athletic performance through mathematical modeling, computer simulation and measurement.

  3. Biomechanics of sprint running - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomechanics_of_sprint_running

    In short, the athlete would have a hard time controlling the rotation of their trunk without arm swing. The same study [8] also suggested that, as opposed to popular belief, the horizontal force production capabilities of the arms are limited due to the backward swing that follows the forward swing, so the two components cancel each other out ...

  4. Sports periodization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_periodization

    The roots of periodization come from Hans Selye's model, known as the General adaptation syndrome (GAS). The GAS describes three basic stages of response to stress: (a) the Alarm stage, involving the initial shock of the stimulus on the system, (b) the Resistance stage, involving the adaptation to the stimulus by the system, and (c) the Exhaustion stage, in that repairs are inadequate, and a ...

  5. Exercise physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_physiology

    An exercise physiologist's area of study may include but is not limited to biochemistry, bioenergetics, cardiopulmonary function, hematology, biomechanics, skeletal muscle physiology, neuroendocrine function, and central and peripheral nervous system function. Furthermore, exercise physiologists range from basic scientists, to clinical ...

  6. Sports science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_science

    Sports science is a discipline that studies how the healthy human body works during exercise, and how sports and physical activity promote health and performance from cellular to whole body perspectives.

  7. Neurobiological effects of physical exercise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurobiological_effects_of...

    Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...

  9. Gait analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_analysis

    It is also commonly used in sports biomechanics to help athletes run more efficiently and to identify posture-related or movement-related problems in people with injuries. The study encompasses quantification (introduction and analysis of measurable parameters of gaits ), as well as interpretation, i.e. drawing various conclusions about the ...
