Sports Injury Science Exploring Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention

This book focuses on the integration of biomechanical studies in sports performance and their relationship with musculoskeletal injuries. It presents a comprehensive analysis across eight sports: soccer, volleyball, swimming, cycling, skiing, golf, athletics, and hockey. The research addresses both general and specific injuries, including hamstring muscle injuries, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) damage, and pubic symphysis pain, with attention given to both male and female athletes. The studies employ established biomechanical tools, such as 2D and 3D motion analysis, force platforms, and electromyography, providing a robust framework for understanding injury mechanisms and performance optimization. This collection aims to advance the knowledge of injury prevention and athletic performance by combining rigorous biomechanical approaches with practical applications for diverse sports disciplines.


Kay Blevins is a researcher and author with a deep expertise in biomechanics, sports performance, and injury prevention. With an academic foundation in kinesiology and biomechanics, Kay’s work bridges the gap between theory and practical application in team sports and athletic performance. Through meticulous analysis and research, Kay has contributed to the understanding of topics like motion capture, muscle function, injury risk factors, and talent development across various sports disciplines, including soccer, volleyball, cycling, and skiing.
