This study investigated lower-limb kinematics to explain the techniques used to achieve high
levels of sprint start performance. A cross-sectional design was used to examine …

This study examined whether an extrinsic motivator, such as an overhead goal, during a
plyometric jump may alter movement biomechanics. Our purpose was to examine the effects …

This study was concerned with the measurement of performance variables from competitors
in the men's long jump final of the World Student Games held in Sheffield, England, in July …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the kinetic characteristics of backward giant
swing on parallel bars (PB) compared with those of backward giant swing on horizontal bar …

Biomechanical data are oflen presented as a group average, which may not always help
individual athletes to improve their own performance. The purpose of this study was to …

Little is known about shear loading patterns during dance movements. The purpose of the
study was to investigate the effect of jumping distance (JD) on contributors of ankle and knee …

Linear acceleration is a key performance determinant and major training component of
many sports. Although extensive research about lower limb kinetics and kinematics is …

Arm swing during a jump can enhance performance. This study examined the mechanisms
via which arm swing contributes to maximum vertical jump height. Two mechanisms have …

press biomechanics—The necessity of measuring lateral barbell forces. J Strength Cond …

Take-off, the most important phase in ski jumping, has been primarily studied in terms of
spatio-temporal parameters; little is known about its motor control aspects. This study aims to …
