Problem Statement: This systematic review focuses on the use of sensors to improve performance in endurance athletes by analyzing biomechanical parameters. Approach: The use of sensors in endurance sports has gained popularity in recent years, allowing athletes and coaches to measure and analyze different biomechanical parameters in real-time. Purpose: The main purpose of this systematic review is to answer the question of how sensors can be used and applied to improve performance in endurance runners by analyzing the biomechanical parameters they provide. Methods: Systematic review analyzing related keywords such as biomechanics, kinematics, kinetics, running, triathlon, ultra running, trail running, Stryd, SHFT, Runscribe, and performance, through scientific research articles from the database of the Electronic Library of the Isabel I University dated 02/2023 in English. A total of 192 investigations were found, of which 168 were excluded. After a detailed review, 15 relevant investigations were included. Results: Sensors can be useful to measure biomechanical parameters such as cadence, stride length, leg spring stiffness, ground contact time, and vertical oscillation, which can help to improve performance in endurance athletes. Conclusions: Sensors are a suitable tool to analyze performance improvement in endurance athletes by analyzing biomechanical parameters. However, it is important to highlight that not all sensors are similar, that it is necessary to carefully select the most suitable ones for each specific situations and that biomechanics is also conditioned in each athlete, so universal rules cannot be established.
