The sport of gymnastics is undergoing a global examination of its culture and the
relationship between the gymnast, coach and environment is a central focus. The aim of this …

The identification of optimum technique for maximal effort sporting tasks is one of the
greatest challenges within sports biomechanics. A theoretical approach using forward …

Musculoskeletal simulations are useful in biomechanics to investigate the causes of
movement disorders, estimate nonmeasurable physiological quantities, or study the …

In this study, we investigated whether video modelling can enhance gymnasts' performance
of the circle on a pommel horse. The procedure associated expert-modelling with self …

There is conflicting evidence as to whether skilled performance is associated with lower or
higher movement variability. The effect of skill level and task difficulty on movement …

The purpose of the present study was to compare the location of the body center of mass
(CoM) determined by using a high accuracy reaction board (RB) and two different segment …

Lower limb contribution in flatwater kayaking is difficult to quantify experimentally because
lower-limbs and pelvis are hidden in the kayak. A computer simulation model was …

This study used an optimization procedure to evaluate an 8-segment torque-driven subject-
specific computer simulation model of the takeoff phase in running jumps for height. Kinetic …

Cricket fast bowling is a dynamic activity in which a bowler runs up and repeatedly delivers
the ball at high speeds. Experimental studies have previously linked ball release speed and …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of inter-joint coordination at different
levels of skilled performance to:(1) distinguish learners who were successful versus …
