Hamstring injuries are highly prevalent in many running‐based sports, and predominantly
affect the long head of biceps femoris. Re‐injury rates are also high and together lead to …

stiffness: considerations for testing, performance enhancement, and injury risk. J Strength …

In this review, we examine the literature in light of the mechanical principles that govern
linear accelerated running. While the scientific literature concerning sprint mechanics is …

ABSTRACT A lower duty factor (DF) reflects a greater relative contribution of leg swing
versus ground contact time during the running step. Increasing time on the ground has been …

The interaction between gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscle and Achilles tendon, ie,
muscle-tendon unit (MTU) interaction, plays an important role in minimizing the metabolic …

The interaction between the Achilles tendon and the triceps surae muscles seems to be
modulated differently with various task configurations. Here we tested the hypothesis that the …

Biomechanics (and energetics) of human locomotion are generally studied at constant,
linear, speed whereas less is known about running mechanics when velocity changes …

Purpose: The goal of the present study was to assess, by ultrasound imaging (USI), the
thickness of the plantar fascia (PF) at the insertion of the calcaneus, mid and forefoot fascial …
