Special Issue Information

 

Racket sports such as tennis, badminton, and table tennis are globally popular. With the development of sports science, research on biomechanics and injury prevention in racket sports has made significant progress. Researchers use advanced techniques like high-speed cameras and motion capture systems to analyze athletes' movement patterns, strength output, and energy consumption. These studies enhance our understanding of racket sports techniques and provide a scientific basis for training, injury prevention, and performance improvement.

The research on biomechanics and injury prevention in racket sports is important. It can identify key factors affecting performance, offer scientific guidance for training, and help athletes improve skills and competitiveness. Understanding biomechanical principles helps identify injury risks and develop prevention measures. Based on biomechanical analysis, more scientific training plans can be designed to improve training efficiency and promote athletes' all-round development. Biomechanics research also provides a basis for designing and improving sports equipment, enhancing their performance and comfort.

Scientific injury prevention can reduce long-term health issues and extend athletes' careers. It offers scientific training and management advice for sports teams to improve overall performance and competitiveness. It also provides scientific teaching methods and training guidance for coaches and physical education teachers, improving teaching quality and students' learning outcomes. However, there are still many mysteries in this field, such as the impact mechanisms of different techniques on performance and injury risks, and how individual differences affect biomechanical parameters and performance. With the continuous progress of technology, new research methods and techniques are emerging, providing new opportunities for in-depth exploration.

This special issue focuses on using advanced biomechanical methods, medical and artificial intelligence technologies, combined with creative experimental designs to reveal the mechanisms of sports injuries in racket sports, ensuring support for athletes and sports organizations in injury prevention, sports equipment development, and technical analysis and optimization. We welcome researchers and practitioners to present their novel contributions in this regard.
