An issue that should concern sports biomechanists is the need for more synthesis of ideas and experimental testing of those ideas. Descriptive analysis is overemphasized at present, and more stress on synthesis of existing data and experimental testing of new ideas should generate new theories that will give us insights into the mechanical behavior of structures and the kinetics and kinematics of sports movements. One area where this approach may be especially helpful is in studying the question of what makes movements energetically economical. Twenty-six behavioral and mechanical factors have been shown to have an association with the economy of movement. A synthesis should be undertaken which probes the meaning of these various data. Trends in these findings point to intra- and intersegmental energy transfer, center of mass excursion, and elastic energy storage as potential areas for expanding our understanding of the biomechanics of economical movement. These possibilities might be explored by enhancing link-segmental mathematical models to predict what makes movements economical and then testing these predictions by using biofeedback techniques to train subjects to perform the correct movements while being monitored. Optimization models might offer an additional strategy for developing a theory of mechanically and energetically economical movement.
一个应当引起运动生物力学专家关注的问题是，需要更多地整合观点并对这些观点进行实验验证。目前描述性分析被过度强调了，更多地关注现有数据的整合以及对新观点的实验验证，应该能产生新的理论，从而让我们深入了解结构的力学行为以及运动的动力学和运动学。这种方法可能特别有用的一个领域是研究运动在能量方面为何经济的问题。已经证明有26个行为和力学因素与运动经济性相关。应该进行一次整合，探究这些不同数据的意义。这些研究结果的趋势表明，节段内和节段间的能量转移、质心偏移以及弹性能量储存是扩展我们对经济运动生物力学理解的潜在领域。可以通过改进环节-节段数学模型来探索这些可能性，以预测运动经济的原因，然后利用生物反馈技术在监测受试者的同时训练他们做出正确动作，从而检验这些预测。优化模型可能为发展一种关于力学和能量方面经济运动的理论提供另一种策略。
