Novel technology is often commercialised for direct sport applications. Researchers and practitioners need to understand the specific technology limits, best protocols for its intended use, as well as the accuracy, reliability, and specificity of the chosen measures before implementing the technologies in practice. In this editorial, two prevalent technologies with biomechanical applications have been discussed due to their relevance to sport biomechanics: the inertial measurement unit(s) and the smartphone sensors/app software.
