Variability in baseball pitching biomechanics among various levels of competition

Glenn S. Fleisig, Yungchien Chu, Adam C. Weber et al. · 13 Feb 2009

The aim of this study was to compare within-individual variability in baseball pitching among various levels of competition. It was hypothesized that variability decreases as level of competition increases. Five fastballs were analysed for 93 healthy male baseball pitchers (20 youth, 19 high school, 20 college, 20 Minor League, and 14 Major League level pitchers).…

Movement variability and skills monitoring in sports

Ezio Preatoni, Joseph Hamill, Andrew J. Harrison et al. · 21 Nov 2012

The aim of this paper was to present a review on the role that movement variability (MV) plays in the analysis of sports movement and in the monitoring of the athlete's skills. MV has been traditionally considered an unwanted noise to be reduced, but recent studies have re-evaluated its role and have tried to understand…

Coordination variability and skill development in expert triple jumpers

Cassie Wilson, Scott Simpson, Richard E.A. van Emmerik et al. · 1 Jan 2008

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of skill of expert triple jumpers on the coordination variability of lower extremity intra-limb couplings. In contrast to the traditional motor learning perspective, we hypothesized that as skill and thus performance increases, movement coordination variability will also increase. Three-dimensional kinematic and ground reaction force data…

Tennis

Glenn S. Fleisig, Rochelle L. Nicholls, Bruce Elliott et al. · 1 Jan 2003

The purpose of this study was to quantify ranges and speeds of movement, from shoulder external rotation to ball impact, in the tennis service actions of world class players. Two electronically synchronised 200 Hz video cameras were used to record 20 tennis players during singles competition at the Sydney 2000 Olympic games. Three-dimensional motion of…

Cricket

Marc Portus, Bruce R. Mason, Bruce Elliott et al. · 1 Jul 2004

In this study we analysed technique, ball speed and trunk injury data collected at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) from 42 high performance male fast bowlers over a four year period. We found several notable technique inter-relationships, technique and ball speed relationships, and associations between technique and trunk injuries. A more front-on shoulder alignment…

Sports Biomechanics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Sports Biomechanics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Sports Biomechanics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Sports Biomechanics use?
Sports Biomechanics uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Sports Biomechanics 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Sports Biomechanics?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Sports Biomechanics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Sports Biomechanics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Sports Biomechanics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Sports Biomechanics?
Sports Biomechanics is a multidisciplinary journal published by Taylor & Francis. DocuGuru's Sports Biomechanics template matches Taylor & Francis's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Sports Biomechanics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Sports Biomechanics template (the interact class) that is ready to submit to Taylor & Francis, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Sports Biomechanics template cost?
You can start writing in the Sports Biomechanics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Sports Biomechanics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
