Measurement error in estimates of sprint velocity from a laser displacement measurement device
This study aimed to determine the measurement error associated with estimates of velocity from a laser-based device during different phases of a maximal athletic sprint. Laser-based displacement data were obtained from 10...

Ratio of forces during sprint acceleration
The orientation of the ground reaction force (GRF) vector is a key determinant of human sprint acceleration performance and has been described using ratio of forces (RF) which quantifies the ratio of the antero-posterior...

How far can skills-talk take us?
Neil Kenny
Feb 02, 2018
In this article, Neil Kenny, Lead Fellow for Languages at the British Academy, argues that the broadened notion of skill proposed by a new British Academy project, The Right Skills, provides a framework for articulating more...

Contributions of the non-kicking-side arm to rugby place-kicking technique
To investigate non-kicking-side arm motion during rugby place kicking, five experienced male kickers performed trials under two conditions, both with an accuracy requirement but one with an additional maximal distance demand....

Modeling the stance leg in two-dimensional analyses of sprinting
Two-dimensional analyses of sprint kinetics are commonly undertaken but often ignore the metatarsalphalangeal (MTP) joint and model the foot as a single segment. Due to the linked-segment nature of inverse dynamics analyses, the...

Choice of sprint start performance measure affects the performance-based ranking within a group of sprinters
Sprint start performance has previously been quantified using several different measures. This study aimed to identify whether different measures could influence the performance-based ranking within a group of 12 sprinters, and...

Relationships between lower-limb kinematics and block phase performance in a cross section of sprinters

This study investigated lower-limb kinematics to explain the techniques used to achieve high levels of sprint start performance. A cross-sectional design was used to examine relationships between specific technique variables...

Toward an Ontology of Strategy in an Enterprise Context
Neil Kemp
Oct 01, 2021
What is meant by "strategy" and what concepts are involved in its creation are not well understood, and there is significant inconsistency in the way they are all used. It was hypothesised that current tools and techniques for...
Excessive fluctuations in knee joint moments during early stance in sprinting are caused by digital filtering procedures
Inverse dynamics analyses are commonly used to understand movement patterns in all forms of gait. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of digital filtering procedures on the knee joint moments calculated during...
