This study aimed to identify reality of using biomechanical indicators in sports training. This study analyzes digital performance of Iraqi track and field athletes and identifies factors contributing to its use from perspectives of coaches, performance analysts, and specialized faculty members. The researcher employed a descriptive methodology. Sample consisted of 65 individuals: a main sample of 50 and a pilot sample of 15. A questionnaire was used to collect data after its validity and reliability were verified. Data were statistically analyzed using means, weighting ratios, and Chi-square test. Results showed level of use of biomechanical indicators in athletic training. The study found that digital performance analysis was highly effective, contributing to improved performance analysis efficiency and identification of athletes' strengths and weaknesses. It also revealed that availability of high-speed cameras and modern biomechanical equipment is a key factor in facilitating its use in training. In light of these findings, study recommended enhancing use of biomechanical indicators in track and field training, providing modern equipment and technologies, training coaches and performance analysts in use of biomechanical analysis software, and establishing specialized laboratories. These measures aim to improve training process and raise performance level of Iraqi track and field athletes.
