BIOMECHANICS

Biomechanics is a scientific discipline that analyses human movement, focusing on forces and body movements. In sports, biomechanics aims to improve technique, reduce injury risk, and enhance efficiency by studying movement patterns and forces involved in athletic performance. Biomechanists also examine how athletes interact with equipment or the environment to provide insights on technique, movement sequencing, and performance parameters.     

THE EXPERTS IN HUMAN MOVEMENT

NSWIS biomechanists collaborate with coaches, using various methods and tools such as motion capture, force plates, wearable sensors, and video analysis to gather data on athletic movements.  

They measure parameters such as velocity, acceleration, joint angles, and forces, while also analysing competition-related variables. This comprehensive examination of athletic movement informs training programs, skill development, and helps athletes make adjustments for improved performance.

SCIENTIFICALLY ENHANCING ATHLETIC POTENTIAL

  • Biomechanists work closely with coaches in the DTE, leading data collection and interventions for athletic movement 
  • NSWIS athletes benefit from world-class 3D motion capture tools for detailed analysis of complex movement patterns 
  • Biomechanical competition support services offer technical and tactical insights to inform targeted training strategies for improvement 
  • Collaboration with universities drives the development of innovative methodologies for movement data collection, including integration of AI and data science principles for biomechanical accuracy

NSWIS has played a major role in my going forward – I have the biomechanics team going through even the smallest detail. It’s been a big stepping stone for me.
