In laboratory settings, human locomotion encounters minimal opposition from air resistance. However, moving in nature often requires overcoming airflow. Here, the drag force exerted …
Many models have been developed to predict metabolic energy expenditure based on biomechanical proxies of muscle function. However, current models may only perform well …
This study aims to investigate the relationship between soft tissue energy dissipation and leg stiffness during running. Eight recreational healthy male runners (age: 22.2±1.0 years; …

The internal and external work (or power) concepts have been widely used in the past to describe the biomechanics of human legged (and assisted) locomotion [see Peyré …
Simple Summary In this study we investigated the ankle joint functional indexes and the Achilles tendon mechanical behaviour (changes in AT force and power as a function of …
