Objective To systematically review risk factors for hamstring strain injury (HSI). Design
Systematic review update. Data sources Database searches:(1) inception to 2011 (original) …

The etiology of running‐related injury is important to consider as the effectiveness of a given
running‐related injury prevention intervention is dependent on whether etiologic factors are …

Walking and running have fundamentally different biomechanics, which makes developing
devices that assist both gaits challenging. We show that a portable exosuit that assists hip …

Recent literature supports the importance of horizontal ground reaction force (GRF)
production for sprint acceleration performance. Modeling and clinical studies have shown …

Humans run faster by increasing a combination of stride length and stride frequency. In slow
and medium-paced running, stride length is increased by exerting larger support forces …

Isolated injury to the long head of biceps femoris is the most common type of acute
hamstring strain injury (HSI). However, the precise hamstring injury mechanism (ie, sprint …

The lengths and velocities of muscle fibers have a dramatic effect on muscle force
generation. It is unknown, however, whether the lengths and velocities of lower limb muscle …

Background We have shown that a prototype marathon racing shoe reduced the metabolic
cost of running for all 18 participants in our sample by an average of 4%, compared to two …

Running is a bouncing gait in which the body mass center slows and lowers during the first
half of the stance phase; the mass center is then accelerated forward and upward into flight …
