Analyzing an athlete's “technique,” sport scientists often focus on preselected variables that
quantify important aspects of movement. In contrast, coaches and practitioners typically …

The aim of this study was to advance current movement analysis methodology to enable a
technique analysis in sports facilitating (1) concurrent comparison of the techniques …

Movement screens are frequently used to identify abnormal movement patterns that may
increase risk of injury or hinder performance. Abnormal patterns are often detected visually …

Because of the complexity of sports movements, biomechanical analyses contain many
kinematical or dynamical parameters and characteristic curves. Principal component …

Purpose: To discuss the use of principal-component analysis (PCA) as a dimension-
reduction and visualization tool to assist in decision making and communication when …

Motion analysis is used to study the functionality or dysfunctionality of the neuromuscular
system, as human movements are the direct outcome of neuromuscular control. However …

The proliferation of new biomechanical technology in laboratory and field settings facilitates
the capture of data-sets consisting of complex time-series. An understanding of the …

This study considered the problem of identifying and evaluating the factors of individual
performance during race walking. In particular, the study explored the use of functional …

Recently, a principal component analysis (PCA) approach has been used to provide insight
into running pathomechanics. However, researchers often account for nearly all of the …

Objective. To explain and underscore the use of principal component analysis in clinical
biomechanics as an expedient, unbiased means for reducing high-dimensional data sets to …
