The 'stiffness' concept originates from Hooke's law which states that the force required to
deform an object is related to a spring constant and the distance that object is deformed …

The dynamic work environments of tactical athletes are difficult to replicate in a laboratory.
Accelerometers and inertial measurement units provide a way to characterize movement in …

ABSTRACT MORIN, J.-B., P. SAMOZINO, and GY MILLET. Changes in Running Kinematics,
Kinetics, and Spring–Mass Behavior over a 24-h Run. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 43, No …

Running-related stress fractures have been associated with the overall impact intensity,
which has recently been described through the loading rate (LR). Our purpose was to …

The purpose of this study was to describe kinematic changes that occur during an actual
marathon. We hypothesized that (1) certain running kinematic measures would change …

Background Foot orthoses are frequently used in sports for the treatment of overuse
complaints with sufficient evidence available for certain foot-related overuse pathologies like …

Impact reduction has become a factor of interest in the prevention of running-related injuries
such as stress fractures. Currently, the midfoot strike pattern (MFS) is thought as a potential …

A minimalist shoe could be described as a shoe with minimal midsole thickness at the heel
(heel height) and a minimal positive difference between heel and metatarsus heights (drop) …

We examined the effect of running velocity upon magnitude and range of asymmetry in the
main kinetics and kinematics of treadmill running at constant, submaximal velocities. Nine …

Purpose: To investigate the effects of an extreme uphill marathon on the mechanical
parameters that are likely to affect the energy cost of running (C r). Methods: Eleven runners …
