Description
Junyan Liu and co-authors review, in a 2026 paper, the research on mobile health apps used inside sport training. Apps now log body, motion, and mind measures across training, but studies scatter across narrow topics. The team searched five databases and kept just over one hundred studies with real athlete data.
The studies fell into ten use families, led by skill training, performance measurement, and jump measurement. Others covered self-reported monitoring, body measures, and injury screening. Quality was checked with a standard appraisal tool. The authors map what each family of apps does, how the tech works, and how strong the proof is, giving coaches a single guide for picking tools.
