Across a wide range of Froude speeds, non-human primates such as macaques prefer to
use grounded and aerial running when locomoting bipedally. Both gaits are characterized …

Modeling the lumbar spine as a single rigid segment does not consider the relative
contribution of regional or segmental motion that may occur during a task. The current study …

Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is a common injury that is related to running biomechanics.
This study aimed to determine the gait characteristics that easily induce ITBS and explore …

The relationship between running velocity and trunk rotation during normal running and
running while dribbling was investigated in 7 male competitive basketball players and 7 …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of lumbosacral kinetics on sprinting.
Twelve male sprinters performed 50 m sprints at maximal effort. Kinematic and ground …

We determined the angular range of motion and the relative timing of displacement in the
thorax, lumbar spine, and pelvis in the transverse plane during treadmill walking at three …

Previous literature suggests that muscular involvement and biomechanical changes elicit
different responses between overground and treadmill training. The objective of this study …

Background Studies have found no or minimal differences in running kinematics between
flexible and inflexible adult runners. The interaction between hamstring flexibility and …

Aims Injuries to the lumbopelvic region are often debilitating and result in significant time
loss from sports participation. Different factors which have been correlated with the …

Body rotation is associated with many activities. The concomitant movement of the center of
mass (COM) is essential for effective body rotation. This movement is considered to be …
