Effects of additional load application orders on landing strategies

Creator:

Kanatani, Koichiro

Abstract:

The investigation of force attenuation and performance strategies to respond to changing mechanical constraints helps prevent injury as well as facilitates beneficial insight to provide appropriate instruction to athletes and students. The primary purpose of the study was to assess within subject variability of landing strategies when responding to additional...

The effects of a 7-month high impact jumping intervention on bone mass in pre-pubescent boys and girls

Creator:

Fuchs, Robyn K.

Abstract:

High impact loading activities such as jumping, performed during childhood is advocated as one preventive method for increasing peak bone mass. Thus, we conducted a randomized intervention to examine the effect of high impact loading on bone mass in 34 pre-pubescent boys and girl over a seven month period. Participants...

Effect of jumping on growing bones : forces during different landings

Creator:

Black, Bradley A.

Abstract:

In order to develop a stimulating yet effective school-based program which elicits a positive bone growth response, we need to understand the forces acting on the bones of children during various high-impact activities. One activity found to promote bone growth is drop landings from a height. We determined whether there...
