Running economy (RE) has a strong relationship with running performance, and modifiable
running biomechanics are a determining factor of RE. The purposes of this review were to …

Background Running biomechanics is considered an important determinant of running
economy (RE). However, studies examining associations between running biomechanics …

Muscle co-contraction generates joint stiffness to improve stability and accuracy during limb
movement but at the expense of higher energetic cost. However, quantification of joint …

Locomotion is the most common form of movement in nature. Its study allows analysis of
interactions between muscle functions (motor) and lever system arrangements …

** Purpose** Strength training activities have consistently been shown to improve running
economy (RE) and neuromuscular characteristics, such as force producing ability and …

Abstract Introduction Some people with Parkinson's disease (PD) frequently have an
unsteady gait with shuffling, reduced strength, and increased rigidity. This study has …

Running is an exercise that can be performed in different environments that imposes distinct
foot–floor interactions. For instance, running on grass may help reducing instantaneous …

There is currently no consensus regarding the effect that barefoot (BFT) running has on
running economy (RE). Stride length and shoe mass are confounding variables, with a BFT …

The manner in which motoneurons respond to excitatory and inhibitory inputs depends
strongly on how their intrinsic properties are influenced by the neuromodulators serotonin …

In this study, we investigated the effects of increased kick frequency on the propelling
efficiency and the muscular co-activation during underwater dolphin kick. Participants …
