A review of research on the mechanical stiffness in running and jumping: methodology and implications

M Brughelli, J Cronin - … journal of medicine & science in sports, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Mechanical stiffness (vertical, leg and joint stiffness) can be calculated during normal human
movements, such as running and hopping. Mechanical stiffness is thought to influence …

Influence of running velocity on vertical, leg and joint stiffness: modelling and recommendations for future research

M Brughelli, J Cronin - Sports medicine, 2008 - Springer
Human running can be modelled as either a spring-mass model or multiple springs in
series. A force is required to stretch or compress the spring, and thus stiffness, the variable of …

Changes in spring-mass model parameters and energy cost during track running to exhaustion

J Slawinski, R Heubert, J Quievre, V Billat… - The Journal of …, 2008 - journals.lww.com
The purpose of this study was to determine whether exhaustion modifies the stiffness
characteristics, as defined in the spring-mass model, during track running. We also …

Relationships between running economy and mechanics in middle-distance runners

R Di Michele - 2008 - amsdottorato.unibo.it
Running economy (RE), ie the oxygen consumption at a given submaximal speed, is an
important determinant of endurance running performance. So far, investigators have widely …
