Kinematical Analysis Of 135° Change-Of-Direction Techniques In Basketball, Raffaele Zinno, Salvatore Pinelli, Anna Jòdar-Portas, Raquel Font-Lladó, Anna Prats-Puig, Laura Bragonzoni

ISBS Proceedings Archive

Change of direction (COD) is a crucial movement in basketball, requiring athletes to decelerate, reorient, and reaccelerate efficiently. This study aimed to identify the COD techniques naturally adopted by basketball players during a pre-planned 135° CODs, and to compare the associated lower-limb kinematics and execution time. A total of 130 basketball players performed the V-cut test while wearing inertial measurement units. From the analysis, two COD techniques emerged: Side-Step and Split-Step. Side-Step was the predominant technique (72.1%) and demonstrated significantly shorter execution time per COD (p < 0.001). Side-Step exhibited in the pivot leg greater hip flexion, knee internal rotation, and ankle dorsiflexion, while Split-Step showed higher movement variability and knee abduction. Side-Step appears to be the more efficient and stable COD strategy, offering faster COD execution.

Energy Flow Analysis During Maximal Speed Sprint Running, Shayne Vial, Kyle Wasseberger, Daniel Kadlec

ISBS Proceedings Archive

The purpose of this study was to determine how mechanical energy is transferred, generated, and absorbed during maximal speed sprint running in semi-elite football players. To perform the segmental power analysis, we collected 3-D kinematics and ground reaction force data during maximum speed sprinting. During late swing, the thigh, shank, and foot showed net energy outflow (negative), indicating energy transfer to the pelvis/trunk or dissipated. During the first half of stance the hip was the prime generator while the knee and ankle absorbed energy. In the second half of stance, the hip transitioned to absorbing energy while the knee and …


On The Curved Skate Path Technique Of Speed Skating, Jeroen Van Der Eb Dr. Ir., Prof. M. R. (Fred) Yeadon Nov 2025

On The Curved Skate Path Technique Of Speed Skating, Jeroen Van Der Eb Dr. Ir., Prof. M. R. (Fred) Yeadon

ISBS Proceedings Archive

The classical model of speed skating assumes that the skate travels in a straight line at a constant forward velocity while the sideward push-offs generate motion of the skater's centre of mass (CoM) perpendicular to the skate. However, experimental data suggest that the CoM also gains forward velocity during each stroke. This study explores the impact of the skate's curved trajectory on a skater's velocity. We hypothesized that as a skater leans inward while the skate follows a curved path, the CoM gains forward velocity. To test this, we developed a simplified model using an inverted, extendable pendulum, where the …

Comparison Of External Inversion/Eversion Moment Between Barefoot And Shod Running, Kotaro Tsutsumi, Hiroyuki Nunome Prof., Yuji Tamura, Tsuyoshi Iitake, Ryo Iwasaki

ISBS Proceedings Archive

We aimed to illustrate the differences in the external inversion/eversion moment between barefoot and shod running under the same foot strike pattern and to identify the contributing factors. Fifteen healthy females participated and were instructed to run while keeping their habitual foot strike pattern in barefoot and shod conditions. From the three-dimensional coordinates of running (500 Hz) and the ground reaction force (1000 Hz), the foot external eversion/inversion moments were calculated. During the stance phase of running, the shod condition exhibited a significantly larger external inversion moment than the barefoot condition. The centre of pressure trajectory shifted medially in the …

Relationship Between Swimming Velocity And Foot Kinematic Characteristics In Novice Breaststroke Swimmers, Hiroshi Suito, Keisuke Teramoto, Kazumasa Ozeki

ISBS Proceedings Archive

The study aimed to examine the relationship between the swimming velocity (SV) and the kinematic characteristics of the foot in novice breaststroke swimmers. Six novice male swimmers participated in the study. Participants performed two prone 10 m breaststroke kick trials on a kickboard. The kicking movements were recorded with two synchronized underwater cameras, and a three-dimensional analysis of the right-side kicking motion was conducted. The results revealed that significant negative correlations were found between the SV during a single breaststroke kick cycle and both the longitudinal and lateral kick widths (r = -.943, P < 0.01; r = -.886, P < 0.05). Moreover, a significant correlation was observed between the internal rotation angle of ankle joint in the insweep phase and SV (r = .886, P < 0.05), These findings suggest …

Running-Induced Fatigue Increases Coordination Variability, Regardless Of Running Ability, Zak J.M Sheehy, Adrian R Rivadulla, Ezio Preatoni

ISBS Proceedings Archive

We examined the effect of fatigue on lower limb coordination variability (CV) and its relationship with running ability. Fifty recreational runners (♀= 25; 18-50 years) ran on a treadmill, at a speed 5% faster than their lactate threshold, until volitional exhaustion. Three-dimensional kinematic data were collected, and CV for sagittal hip-knee and knee-ankle couplings was calculated. One-dimensional repeated measures analysis via Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) revealed that CV increased in mid-stance and throughout swing in the final part of the run. Changes in CV were not predicted by VO2peak or 10 km performance, suggesting that the findings are …

The Effect Of (Acceleration-Deceleration) Exercise Whith Moderate Intensity In Small Spaces On The Strength Of Hamstrings In Football Players, Kamel Nettah, Abdelkader Belkheir, Rabah Seghiri, Derradji Aroussi Nov 2025

The Effect Of (Acceleration-Deceleration) Exercise Whith Moderate Intensity In Small Spaces On The Strength Of Hamstrings In Football Players, Kamel Nettah, Abdelkader Belkheir, Rabah Seghiri, Derradji Aroussi

ISBS Proceedings Archive

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of acceleration-deceleration exercise in small spaces on the strength of the hamstring muscle and ideally prevent it from a possible injury. A significant number of previous studies have shown that the negative effect of exercises using acceleration and deceleration on hamstring injury is due to the maximum use of intensity. Instead, in this study we have used moderate intensity in small spaces. on The idea was that acceleration-deceleration exercises have the same mechanism of contraction(contracting and extending) with strength training despite the different way they function, and through that development …

Biomechanical Analysis Of Elite Javelin Thrower Of Pakistan, Muhammad Tahir Nazeer Dr, Muhammad Ahmad Tahir, Rabia Walee

ISBS Proceedings Archive

This study investigated the biomechanical factors influencing javelin throwing performance among elite Pakistani athletes. Eight national-level male throwers were analyzed using 3D motion capture during the 2024 National Athletics Championships. Key variables included release velocity components, approach run velocity, pull distance, and phase durations. Results showed that vertical release velocity and approach run velocity at right foot touchdown (R-on) were significantly correlated with throwing distance (r = 0.672, p < .05 and r = 0.596, p < .05, respectively). No significant correlations were observed for pull distance, step length, or phase durations. Findings suggest that elite performance relies on maximizing vertical release while maintaining sufficient horizontal speed, emphasizing the importance of individualized technical training in Pakistan’s javelin development programs.

ISBS Proceedings Archive

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of bat diameter on the batted ball characteristics in baseball. A custom-made bat swing machine swung bat horizontally and hit a ball floating in the air using wind pressure. Three bats of different diameter (6.30 cm, 5.73 cm, and 5.32 cm) were used with 30 trials per bat. Three high-speed video cameras were used to record the movements of the bat and ball near the impact and compared the batted ball characteristics. As a result, bat diameter did not appear to have a significant effect on batted balls.

Wearable IMUs offer a promising alternative to lab-based motion capture for sports biomechanics. Accurate foot contact detection (FCD) is crucial, yet most algorithms are validated for daily activities, leaving a gap in high-dynamic movements, such as sprints and changes of direction, which are linked to injury risk. This study (I) reviews FCD algorithms for such tasks and (II) develops a new IMU-based algorithm for detecting initial contact (IC) and toe-off (TO). The review highlighted limitations in sport-specific FCD solutions. Two algorithms using Pelvis Vertical Velocity (PVV) and Resultant Foot Acceleration (RFA) were tested on 302 trials. A hybrid approach combining …


Formation Of Coordination Among Release Parameters For The Shape Of Variability In Arrival Positions Over Practice, Ryota Matsuda, Jun Umakoshi, Arata Kimura Nov 2025

Formation Of Coordination Among Release Parameters For The Shape Of Variability In Arrival Positions Over Practice, Ryota Matsuda, Jun Umakoshi, Arata Kimura

ISBS Proceedings Archive

This study aims to propose a framework for analyzing coordination among release parameters in relation to the shape of variability in performance outcomes and to investigate how such coordination is formed through practice. Participants threw 60 darts toward the center of the dartboard, twice a week for 10 weeks. Intersection over Union (IoU) was used to quantify coordination for the shape of variability, and a threshold was established to define the presence of coordination. The results showed that coordination among release parameters was not necessarily developed through practice, and that such coordination may already be structured before reducing the magnitude …
