  • A kinematic analysis of the karate back thrust kick

    Creator:
    Cullings, Deborah Ann
    Abstract:
    The back thrust kick is a karate technique used primarily in a defensive setting. This research described the kinematic variables involved in the skilled execution of the kick. Variables examined included movement sequencing, angular position of the trunk, thigh and leg, angular velocity of the thigh and leg, linear velocity...

  • The effect of surface type on plantar pressure distribution and running kinematics

    Creator:
    Killgore, Garry L.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to examine pressure at five selected sites on the plantar surface of the foot and adaptations in running kinematics among fourteen male varsity collegiate distance runners on five different surfaces--asphalt, cinders, concrete, grass, and tartan. Pressure data were collected with an Electrodynogram system (EDG)...
