A Multivariable Analysis of Lower Extremity Kinematic Asymmetry in RunningThis study investigated the phenomenon of kinematic asymmetry of the lower limbs in distance runners. The subjects, 29 male distance runners, were recorded by high-speed filming while running on a motor driven treadmill under two experimental conditions (with running shoes and barefoot). Twelve selected kinematic variables were subjected to multivariate statistical analysis. It was demonst... ...

Functional Asymmetries and Lateral Dominance in the Lower Limbs of Distance RunnersThis study investigated the phenomenon of lower extremity functional asymmetries in a group of competitive male distance runners (N = 29). Bilateral measurements were taken to assess selected variables of the talocalcaneal flexibility (goniometry) and of the isokinetic knee strength (Cybex II). Data analysis revealed significant asymmetries for both lower extremit... ...

Biomechanical Analysis of Olympic Javelin ThrowersA two-dimensional film analysis was performed on five men and six women finalists in the javelin throw of the Los Angeles Olympic Games of 1984. In addition to the great interindividual variation in the measured kinematic and kinetic parameters, the results indicated that in men the winner had the highest release velocity of javelin (29.12 m × s−1 ), and that a signific... ...

Models of Tennis Racket ImpactsThe oscillations of a hand-held tennis racket and a racket with its handle firmly clamped were measured by striking the racket with a ball and observing the output voltage from a thin piezoelectric film wrapped around the handle. The oscillations of the racket in these two cases were quite different, with the hand-held racket displaying vibrational modes similar to those of a completely fr... ...

Biomechanical Profile of Elite Women MarathonersExtensive study has been done on male subjects dealing with gait analysis, but similar investigations of women runners are limited. The purpose of this study was to quantify the essential characteristics and alterations in gait mechanics of women marathoners. Forty elite women marathoners were filmed at four camera locations during the first U.S. Olympic Women's Marathon Trial. Data were q... ...

Evaluation of Rearfoot Asymmetries in Running with Worn and New Running ShoesThe purpose of this study was to identify the kinematic characteristics of bilateral rearfoot asymmetry during heel–toe running under two experimental conditions: worn (broken-in) running shoes and new (standardized) running shoes. High-speed cinematography (150 fps) was used to film the lower limbs of four male runners in the frontal plane while running on a treadmill at their training pa... ...

Finite Element Modeling of a Tennis Racket with Variable String Patterns and TensionsFinite element techniques were applied in a model of a tennis racket. Linear curved elements were used on the frame of the racket. Nonlinear cable elements were used on the strings. The model allows changing material properties and frame geometry, as do traditional models. Unlike traditional models, however, this model has the flexibility to change the string pattern and string tensions, a... ...
