![]() The context is given by the ecologically-similar or rather close environments of each sport discipline. Two concepts derived from the review questions are investigated: The concept of human movement quality, which includes an overview of assessment methods and definitions of human movement quality in sports, and the concept of sensor technology that determines which technological assistance has been used in order to assess human movement quality in sports. ![]() Professional athletes are defined as active sportspeople who earn or earned money in performing their sports such as former and active competitors in elite sports or instructors and/or coaches. The population includes recreational and professional athletes, independent of league, age and skill level. The PCC framework for this scoping review is given in Figure 1. Hence, research would benefit from impact studies of technology-assisted training interventions including control groups as well as investigating features of human movement quality in addition to kinematic parameters. Although studies have used sensor technology for movement quality assessment, the transfer from the lab to the field in recreational and professional sports is still emerging. ![]() None of the included studies used a control group-based study design to investigate impact on training progress, injury prevention or behavior change. A total of 31% of the studies used expert-based labeling of the movements to label data. Most of the studies (69%) assessed human movement quality using either the comparison to an expert’s performance, to an exercise definition or to the athletes’ individual baseline performance. A total of 50% of the studies used inertial sensor technology, 31% vision-based sensor technology. We searched four online databases to identify 16 eligible articles with either recreational and/or professional athletes. This scoping review presents an overview of sensor technologies and human movement quality assessments in ecologically-similar environments. The use of sensor technology in sports facilitates the data-driven evaluation of human movement not only in terms of quantity but also in terms of quality. ![]()
