Despite a voluminous body of research devoted to sprint training, our understanding of the
training process leading to a world-class sprint performance is limited. The objective of this …

In this review, we examine the literature in light of the mechanical principles that govern
linear accelerated running. While the scientific literature concerning sprint mechanics is …

Abstract Existing “off-the-shelf” musculoskeletal models are problematic when simulating
movements that involve substantial hip and knee flexion, such as the upstroke of pedalling …

We sought to provide a more comprehensive understanding of how the individual leg
muscles act synergistically to generate a ground force impulse and maximize the change in …

Understanding the distinct functions of human muscles could not only help professionals
obtain insights into the underlying mechanisms that we accommodate compromised …

Purpose The main aim of this investigation was to quantify differences in sprint mechanical
variables across sports and within each sport. Secondary aims were to quantify sex …

New Findings What is the topic of this review? This narrative review explores past and
recent findings on the mechanical determinants of energy cost during human locomotion …

Background Athletics (also known as track and field) is one of the most popular sports in the
world and is the centrepiece of the Summer Olympic Games. Participation in athletics …

Objectives The objective of the current cross-sectional study was to examine Achilles tendon
transverse stiffness in a group of recreational runners with Achilles tendinopathy, in …

An eccentrically lengthening, energy-absorbing, brake-driven model of hamstring function
during the late-swing phase of sprinting has been widely touted within the existing literature …
