The purpose of this paper is to provide academic information on research methods and tasks which researchers in sport biomechanics should carry out so as to improve the quality of research on sport biomechanics. For this purpose, 242 articles published on ISBS from 2002 to 2012 were reviewed with a focus on topics, authors, subjects of research, and research methods in terms of an analysis of research trend. The summarized results are as follows: First, The result of the analysis of research topics is that Applied Research-② is the most frequently showed, followed by Applied Research-③, Basic Research-③, Applied Research-①, Basic Research-②, Applied Research-④, Basic Research-①. Second, The result of the analysis of the number of research participates is that 30.6% three, 26.0% two, 21.9% four, 9.5% five, 7.4% single and 4.5% six or more were indicated. For related to concentration of the authors focusing related field 31.4% physical sciences, 25.2% sport biomechanics, 13.2% physical education, 7.4% sports associations/ institute, 2.9% physics, 2.1% engineering, 1.2% biology, 1.2% neuroscience were indicated. Also, The nationalities of the leading authors, 27.7% USA, 19.0 Australia, 14.0 UK, 7.9% Japan, 5.4% Canada, 5.4% New Zealand were indicated. Third, The result of the analysis of research subjects is that 61.3% males, 29.5% both sexes and 9.2% females were indicated. The most frequently selected sports forms were elite sport. Most chosen games were athletics, gymnastics, soccer, cricket, tennis, baseball, swimming, and rowing, sequentially. Fourth, The result of the analysis of research method is that 54.5% cases Image analysis, 15.3% cases force platform, 11.5% cases measurement, 10.1% cases qualitative research, 3.1% cases EMG.
