Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle-tendon interaction and elastic energy usage in human walking
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the elastic recoil takes place not as a spring-like bouncing but as a catapult action in natural human walking.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of speed on leg stiffness and joint kinetics in human running.
TL;DR: There is a difference between the theoretically calculated length change and the kinematically measured length changes of the spring-mass model and the leg spring stiffness, the ankle spring stiffness and the knee spring stiffness are influenced by running speed, which is influenced mostly by changes in stiffness at the knee joint.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of leg stiffness and its effect on myodynamic jumping performance.
TL;DR: The mechanical power acting on the human body during the positive phase of the drop jumps had the highest values in group 3, which means that there is an optimum stiffness value for the lower extremities to maximize mechanical power.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the muscle-tendon unit's mechanical and morphological properties on running economy

TL;DR: It is suggested that at low level forces the more compliant quadriceps tendon and aponeurosis will increase the force potential of the muscle while running and therefore the volume of active muscle at a given force generation will decrease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual muscle contributions to the in vivo achilles tendon force
TL;DR: Non-uniform stress in the achilles tendon can occur through modifications of individual muscle contributions through discrepancies in individual muscle forces as demonstrated in this study.
