Various topics covered include the applicability of the spring-mass (linear) model of the human motion system, leg stiffness controversies and interpretations, and computational and measuring methods of leg stiffness during vertical jumps. Additionally, a description of a research project performed expressly for inclusion in this book is given; the study aims to determine normative values for leg stiffness for young, healthy, non-athletes during single vertical jumps to maximal and specific heights. A final chapter covers additional perspectives, enabling the reader to acquire different perspectives on measuring leg stiffness during vertical jumps across a breadth of information and interpretations. Measuring Leg Stiffness During Vertical Jumps: Theory and Methods is an ideal book for researchers and practitioners in the fields of biomedical engineering, biomechanics, and sport sciences.BiomechanicsBiomathematicsBiotechnologyBiomedical engineeringBiomechanicsMathematical and Computational BiologyBiotechnologyBiomedical Engineering and BioengineeringBiomechanics.Biomathematics.Biotechnology.Biomedical engineering.Biomechanics.Mathematical and Computational Biology.Biotechnology.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.573.79Struzik Artur930625MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910373920103321Measuring leg stiffness during vertical jumps2093330UNINA
