Standing long jump and study of movement dynamics using human motion analysis

Basic structure of sport biomechanics consists of the characteristics of movement that individual sportsman performs and methodology of the sport movement investigation from biomechanics point of view. Theoretical knowledge from the field of biomechanics and techniques of the physical exercise is the basic portfolio for an analysis of human motion. Nowadays it is not difficult to describe quantitatively the movement, but to analyze the reasons and consequences of the movement while monitoring the sport activities is more demanding task. A progress in science made in 21st century enables deeper analysis of those aspects causing and resulting to movement. Recent development and research programs leads to great improvement in movement studies, including motion analysis with advanced technologies applied in the field of sports medicine, general medicine, commercial, industrial and clinical sphere. Main benefit comes from new evaluation and imaging methods that bring added value to assessing and displaying the movement in particular phases.
