In the field of sports biomechanics, computational modeling has emerged as a powerful tool for analyzing human movement and enhancing athletic performance. Rapid advancements in technology and data analysis have provided new opportunities for experts to explore athletic biomechanics more thoroughly. Despite these innovations, there remains a considerable gap in how precisely these models optimize performance and mitigate injury risks. While significant strides have been made in model development and validation, critical questions persist about the integration of multisource data and the practical applications of these models in real-world sporting contexts.

The ongoing research aims to refine and deploy computational models to elevate sports biomechanics understanding. This Research Topic seeks to investigate how cutting-edge models can improve athletic technique, devise optimized training routines, and hone new strategies for injury prevention. By utilizing computational techniques like finite element analysis, machine learning, and multiscale modeling approaches, the goal is to uncover deeper insights and validate effective sporting practices.
