Performance analysis is concerned with the analysis, design and evaluation of sport
systems. These systems are complex, and the distinction between analysis, design and …

It is common for biomechanics data sets to contain numerous dependent variables recorded
over time, for many subjects, groups, and/or conditions. These data often require standard …

There has been minimal work examining kinematics of ice hockey wrist shots. The objective
was to determine if puck and blade speed were related to trunk rotation during wrist shots in …

The objective of this study was to identify biomechanical predictors for accuracy and speed
of the wrist shot in floorball, comparing two different starting feet positions. Ten floorball …

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), particularly cam morphology, is highly prevalent
among elite hockey athletes. Moreover, hip and groin pain has become a common issue in …

A method of load variability is a common way of developing specific skills in various sports,
however, not explored considering the use of different ice-hockey pucks. Therefore, the …

Lacrosse requires the coordinated performance of many complex skills. One of these skills is
shooting on the opponents' net using one of three techniques: overhand, sidearm or …

There has been limited research examining kinematics during ice hockey slap shots,
especially how the body segments are coordinated during this task. The objective of this …

The success of a rugby spin pass is determined by the speed of the passing movement and
the resultant velocity, distance and accuracy of the ball flight. the present study investigated …

Abstract In Ice-Hockey, a player shot significantly deforms the hockey-stick. Since this
deformation plays a dynamic role in determining the flight of the puck, it is used in the study …
