Research in sport science has historically been done in controlled laboratory conditions, as the analytical tools available were not portable or not adapted to field conditions. With the recent development in technologies and tools, a new field of research that applies research in more ecologically valid situations is emerging. This allows new insights to be generated and theoretical models of physiology and biomechanics studied and validated in the laboratory, for their application in the field.
The objective of this Research Topic is to provide a showcase for the development of new analytical methods adapted to the field. Furthermore, we wish to demonstrate how new technologies and analytical methods can be implemented in field conditions and provide relevant physiological and biomechanical information for analysis and performance enhancement in sport and exercise.
The following themes can be addressed in the form of original work, review articles, or meta-analyses:
• New technologies measuring and analysing sport performance in the field.
• Reliability and validity of data measurement in ecological conditions.
• Application of machine learning techniques on big data, videos and sensors
• Specific applications on performance analysis in female sports.
• Performance profiling techniques in sport from field measurements.
• Measurement and analysis of physical, technical and tactical behaviours during competitions.
