The influence of different force and pressure measuring transducers on lower extremity kinematics measured during running
(2014-02-01)
In running analyses where both kinetic and kinematic information is recorded, participants are required to make foot contact with a force and/or pressure measuring transducer. Problems arise if participants modify their ...
Determination of gait events using an externally mounted shank accelerometer
(2013-02-01)
Biomechanical analysis requires the determination of specific foot contact events. This is typically achieved using force platform information; however, when force platforms are unavailable, alternative methods are necessary. ...
The effect of caffeine ingestion on skill maintenance and fatigue in epee fencers
(2013)
The ergogenic effect of caffeine on sports performance focuses predominantly on endurance sports (Doherty & Smith, 2004 ) with little research on intermittent high intensity sports. This study aimed to explore the effect ...
Kinematic determinants of weapon velocity during the fencing lunge in experienced épée fencers
(2013)
The lunge is the most common attack in fencing, however there is currently a paucity of published research investigating the kinematics of this movement. The aim of this study was to investigate if kinematics measured ...
Tibial shock measured during the fencing lunge : the influence of footwear
(2010)
Fencing is a high-intensity sport involving dynamic movements such as the lunge exposing the musculoskeletal system to high impact forces, which emphasises the importance of the shock attenuating properties of footwear as ...
Postural differences in the shoulder girdle during normal locomotion in treadmill vs. over ground walking
(IOS Press, 2006)
In a clinical setting, most musculoskeletal assessment related to gait is undertaken using a treadmill which is additionally widely used during gait and neurological rehabilitation. Although previous studies have reported ...
