The Journal of Applied Biomechanics (JAB) is a peer-reviewed academic journal focused on original and applied research in the field of biomechanics.《应用生物力学杂志》（Journal of Applied Biomechanics，简称 JAB）是一份同行评审的学术期刊，专注于生物力学领域的原创性研究与应用。
Published by Human Kinetics, the journal serves as an official publication of the International Society of Biomechanics.该期刊由人类动力学出版社（Human Kinetics）出版，并且是国际生物力学学会（International Society of Biomechanics）的官方出版物之一。
The journal encompasses multidisciplinary research related to anatomy, physiology, mechanics, and motor control in biological and human movement.该期刊涵盖与人类及生物运动相关的解剖学、生理学、力学和运动控制等多学科交叉研究。
Its core areas include sports biomechanics, clinical biomechanics, ergonomics, orthotic and rehabilitation mechanics, and musculoskeletal mechanics.其核心领域包括运动生物力学、临床生物力学、人体工程学、矫形与康复力学以及肌肉骨骼力学。
The journal publishes quantitative experimental papers, clinical study reports, methodological and technical evaluations, and comprehensive review articles.期刊接收并刊发定量实验论文、临床研究报告、方法学与技术评估以及综合性综述论文。
The journal was established in 1985 under its original title, the International Journal of Sport Biomechanics.该刊创刊于1985年，创刊初期的名称为《国际运动生物力学杂志》（International Journal of Sport Biomechanics）。
In 1993, the journal was renamed to the Journal of Applied Biomechanics to reflect an expanded scope covering clinical, ergonomic, and basic biomechanical applications.为了反映研究范围向临床、人体工程学和基础生物力学等更宽广领域的拓展，该刊于1993年正式更名为《应用生物力学杂志》。
Since its inception, the journal has played a significant role in bridging performance optimization with injury prevention and rehabilitation research.自创刊以来，该期刊在促进运动表现优化与运动损伤机理研究的结合方面发挥了重要作用。
The journal has been led by several prominent biomechanics researchers, with sports biomechanics pioneer Richard C. Nelson serving as its founding editor.该期刊的历任主编包括多位国际知名生物力学专家，创刊主编为运动生物力学先驱理查德·纳尔逊（Richard C. Nelson）。
Subsequent prominent editors-in-chief have included scholars such as Paul DeVita and Ronald F. Zernicke.随后担任主编的重要学者还包括保罗·德维塔（Paul DeVita）以及罗纳德·齐尔尼克（Ronald F. Zernicke）等人。
The editorial board consists of international scholars from exercise science, biomedical engineering, orthopedics, and rehabilitation who oversee peer review and maintain academic rigor.编辑委员会由来自运动科学、生物医学工程、骨科学和康复学等学科的国际学者组成，负责协调同行评审与学术质量把关。
