Sports biomechanics is the science that explains how and why the human body moves as it does. In sport and exercise, this definition is often extended to also take into account the interaction between the performer and his equipment and his environment. Essentially, the biomechanics of sport and exercise focus on the analysis of the physiological mechanics of human movement. In general, the main objectives of sports biomechanics are: To improve athletic performance by identifying and applying a technique optimal. Avoid injuries and speed up recovery.
Errors in the statistical analysis of multiple dependent variables and in the documentation of the effect size are common in the scientific and biomechanical literature. In this article, I review these errors and several solutions that can improve the validity of research reports in sports biomechanics. Studies examining multiple dependent variables should either control the inflation of type I errors (eg Holm's procedure) in multiple comparisons, or use multivariate analysis of variance to focus on the structure and interaction of the variables dependent. When statistically significant differences are observed, research reports must provide confidence limits or effect sizes to document the effect size. Authors of research reports in sports biomechanics are encouraged to analyze and present their data taking into account the type I error rate by experience, as well as to communicate data documenting the size or practical significance of the effects reaching their level of statistical significance.
