Abstract

This study aims to explore the application of sports sensors in motion correction within competitive sports, providing both theoretical and practical guidance. With the advancement of technology, sensor technology is increasingly being applied in sports training and competition, aiding athletes and coaches in more accurately analyzing movements, enhancing performance, and reducing injury risks. The research employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to collect and analyze data from athletes during training and competition, examining the roles of sensors in stride length, stride frequency, posture analysis, and real-time feedback. Additionally, through the formulation of personalized training plans and injury prevention strategies, the study showcases the practical effects of sensors in various sports disciplines. The findings indicate that sensor technology significantly improves movement optimization, injury prevention, and performance enhancement. However, the study also highlights challenges in data collection and analysis, suggesting future research to expand data samples and improve analysis models. This research not only offers new perspectives for theoretical exploration but also provides concrete guidance for practical applications, thus holding substantial practical significance.
