“…Some studies affirm that 85-90% of the propulsive force is developed from the upper limbs, while the remainder is associated with the lower limbs [101,102]. In the cyclic form of locomotion, for example, in swimming, rowing, and kayaking, the intracycle velocity fluctuation is due to the combined effect of propulsive force and drag [103,104]. For these reasons, the study and the measure of propulsive force in swimmers play a crucial role in the athlete's functional assessment.…”

Physical activity analysis assessment has been a concern throughout human history. The intersection of technological growth with sports has given rise to a burgeoning field known as sports engineering. In the 19th century, the advent of chrono-photography and pioneering marked the inception of sports performance analysis. In recent years, the noticeable developments achieved in wearable low-power electronics with wireless high interconnection capability, as a part of modern technologies, have aided us in studying sports parameters such as motor behavior, biomechanics, equipment design, and materials science, playing an essential role in the understanding of sports dynamics. This study aims to review over 250 published articles since 2018, focusing on utilizing and validating these emergent technologies in sports and clinical aspects. It is predicted that one of the next steps in sports technology and engineering development will be using algorithms based on artificial intelligence to analyze the measurements obtained by multi-sensor systems (sensor fusion) to monitor biometric and physiological parameters in performance analysis and health assessments.
