Humans developed complex upper arms movements and bipedal gaits in order to move and locomote. To enhance their performance, they started inventing smart passive mechanical tools. This need arose from intrinsic limitations of their muscle-joint-bone systems and metabolic power availability. Newly invented devices were mainly introduced in order to cope with such constraints. The aim of this Special Issue is to advance knowledge regarding symmetry, biomechanics and energetics of passively assisted human movement and locomotion.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch and information: generalbicsscaerobic trainingagreementanglesasymmetriesbiomechanicsbody centre of massdual taskfootball performancefootball skillsforce plategaithuman gaithuman performanceimbalancekinematicslocomotionmore affected sidemuscle enduranceParkinson's diseasepole walkingrace walkingspatiotemporalteam sporttorso extensorstorso flexorsturningBiology, life sciencesResearch and information: generalArdigo Luca Paoloedt1324215Ardigo Luca PaoloothBOOK9910557764403321Biomechanics Energetics of Natural Assisted Human Comparative Movement Locomotion3036058UNINA
