Sports Science & Biomechanics in Pensacola, Florida

The John Melvin Institute of Sports Science (JMISS) uses sports science, biomechanics and performance analysis to help athletes better understand how their bodies move and how they can improve performance.

​

JMISS's technology-driven sports-motion analysis approach incorporates real-time 3D motion and joint-force analysis to support performance optimization, injury prevention and recovery strategies.

​

Rather than relying only on observation, sports science allows coaches and performance professionals to use objective information to better understand movement and athletic performance.

​

What can sports biomechanics help identify?

• Movement inefficiencies
• Strength and power limitations
• Mobility limitations
• Movement asymmetries
• Performance opportunities
• Potential injury-risk factors
• Sport-specific movement demands

 

Sports science can be especially valuable for athletes who want to understand why they perform the way they do and what changes may help them perform more efficiently.

JMISS combines sports science with expert coaching and athlete development to create a more complete performance strategy.

FAQ

What is sports biomechanics?

• Sports biomechanics is the study of human movement during athletic activities and how forces, mechanics and movement patterns influence performance.

How can biomechanics improve athletic performance?

• Biomechanical analysis can help identify movement patterns and performance limitations that may be addressed through training, technique or other interventions.

What is 3D motion analysis?

• 3D motion analysis uses technology to capture and analyze movement across multiple planes to provide detailed information about how an athlete moves.

Can biomechanics help prevent injuries?

• Biomechanical information can help identify movement characteristics that may warrant attention as part of a broader injury-prevention strategy.
