Motion analysis is used to measure proper bicycle fit, avoid injury, and improve cycling performance. Small changes in position can impact joint kinematics and risk for overuse injury. Concerns regarding the often-used biomechanical model Plug-in-Gait (PIG) resulted in the creation of Conventional Gait Model 2 (CGM2).

Objective: The role of hip strength in the development of running related injuries is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess if runners who develop a running-related injury demonstrate less isometric hip strength than uninjured runners and to evaluate if runners demonstrating isometric hip weakness go on to experience more injuries than those with normal strength.
Design: Prospective cohort study.

Background: Different curling delivery techniques, such as full-foot contact (FFC), outward-toed full-foot contact (OTFFC), and toe contact (TC), impose distinct biomechanical demands and neuromuscular control challenges on the sliding leg. However, current research on the specific differences among these techniques in terms of multi-joint coordination and muscle synergy is limited. This study investigates the effects of these three propulsion techniques on the lower limb joint mechanics and muscle synergy patterns of the left sliding leg during curling delivery in curling athletes.

Injuries and overuse complaints of the groin are a common issue in competitive and professional sports. Clinically, they typically present as pulling to stabbing pains that radiate to the inner thigh and the outer side of the scrotum. Sports that involve rapid changes of direction, sudden accelerations, and strong rotational movements of the torso are at particular risk for the development of groin complaints.

This study examined the effect of minor crank length adjustments on lower body cycling kinematics and exercise tolerance. Fourteen amateur cyclists performed sub-maximal cycling trials with five different crank lengths, preferred (165.0-172.
