TL;DR: This study provides novel and robust evidence that technique explains a substantial proportion of the variance in RE and performance and recommends that runners and coaches are attentive to specific aspects of stride parameters and lower limb angles in part to optimize pelvis movement, and ultimately enhance performance.

TL;DR: During maximum voluntary clenches in a healthy population, maximum masticatory muscle activity requires bilateral posterior contacts and the mandible to be in a stable centric position, whilst with anterior teeth contacts, both the muscle activity and the degree of symmetry in muscle activity are significantly reduced.

TL;DR: The optimised technique used symmetrical shoulder flexion whereas the triple jumper had used an asymmetrical arm technique, which put the leg extensors into slower concentric conditions allowing greater extensor torques to be produced.

TL;DR: Findings demonstrate the pronounced inhomogeneity and anatomically specific muscularity required for fast sprinting, and provides novel, robust evidence that greater hip extensor and gluteus maximus volumes discriminate between elite and sub-elite sprinters and are strongly associated with sprinting performance.

TL;DR: Investigation of the accuracy of four kinematics-based algorithms to estimate ground contact events (GCEs) over a range of running speeds and footstrike types found they were typically negatively correlated to running speed, with offsets decreasing as speed increased.
