In sports biomechanics, force plates are primarily used to measure ground reaction forces under different movement conditions, analyze sports techniques, conduct strength and power tests, perform gait analysis, and carry out biomechanical research. They are also utilized in rehabilitation and physical therapy. Additionally, force plates can be used to test and develop sports equipment and footwear. Through precise mechanical measurements, they help to study and improve athletic techniques, assess training effects, prevent sports injuries, and advance the development of sports science.

​Motion System

Motion analysis systems can accurately capture an athlete's three-dimensional movement trajectory. Using multiple cameras and marker systems, they reconstruct the body's movement process and analyze the athlete's technical actions to identify deficiencies and provide improvement suggestions.
Additionally, these systems can calculate joint angular velocity, angular acceleration, and torque, which help to understand the mechanical characteristics of athletes during different movements. Combined with electromyography (EMG), motion analysis systems can analyze muscle activity patterns in various exercises, providing insights into muscle coordination and workload.

Electromyography System (EMG)
 

EMG is an excellent system for monitoring and evaluating muscle activity. It can record the activation sequence of muscles during various movements, helping to understand an athlete's muscle coordination and motor control during complex actions. Additionally, EMG can test the maximum voluntary contraction of muscles, which is a crucial indicator for assessing muscle strength. These tests provide insights into an athlete's strength levels and potential strength limitations.
