Journal ArticleDOI
Coordination in vertical jumping
TL;DR: For vertical jumping the relationships between muscle actions, movement pattern and jumping achievement, and the EMG-pattern to the purpose of the push-off, were investigated to maximize the effective energy (Ey) of the mass center of the body (MCB).
Journal ArticleDOI
From rotation to translation: Constraints on multi-joint movements and the unique action of bi-articular muscles
TL;DR: Experimental kinematic and kinetic data on jumping and cycling show that the temporally ordered sequence in timing of leg muscle activation patterns as well as co-activation of mono-articular hip and knee extensor muscles and their bi-Articular antagonists are in concert with these constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does Elastic Energy Enhance Work and Efficiency in the Stretch-Shortening Cycle?
TL;DR: In this article, the role of elastic energy in stretch-shortening cycles was investigated and it was shown that elastic energy does not explain the work enhancement due to the prestretch.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of the biarticularity of the gastrocnemius muscle on vertical-jumping achievement
TL;DR: The hypothesis formulated by Bobbert was substantiated, although quantitatively the effect is small, and it was shown that the results described by these authors can be explained from the moment-arm-joint-angle relation of GAS at the knee in their model.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of the human triceps surae muscle-tendon complex applied to jumping
TL;DR: A kinetic analysis demonstrate that during the last part of the push-off phase a combination of high angular velocities with relatively large plantar flexing moments is required, and it is concluded that without a compliant tendon m.
