MUSCLE MECHANICS FOR EXERCISE PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT

Some examples are introduced to enhance exercise performance (from a single joint movement to running and jumping). There actually are numerous factors affecting exercise performance in but not limited to biomechanical, physiological, medical, and engineering aspects. In this session, I will focus on muscle mechanics that can be "manipulated" with some devices executable by a practitioner or with the use of artificial apparatuses

CHANGES IN SPRINT PERFORMANCE AND KINETICS DURING THE ACCELERATION PHASE OF RUNNING OF A WORLD RECORD HOLDER

INTRODUCTION: Previously, it was reported that faster athletes tend to produce vertical ground reaction force (GRF) impulse during the acceleration phase of sprint (Hunter et al. 2005). The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in sprint performance and kinetics during the acceleration phase of running for a world record holder

EFFECTS OF JOINT MOVEMENT ON THE ACCURACY OF 3-POINT SHOOTING IN BASKETBALL

INTRODUCTION: The 3-point shot is particularly important, since a player is required to shoot from a distance that requires both momentum of a ball and movement accuracy. However, there have been only few studies on a 3-point shot. The purpose of this study is to clarify characteristics of players who possess high accuracy of a 3-point shot with respect to joint movements and the ball trajectory
