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. 606 $aBiomechanics 606 $aBiomathematics 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aBiomechanics 606 $aMathematical and Computational Biology 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering 615 0$aBiomechanics. 615 0$aBiomathematics. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 14$aBiomechanics. 615 24$aMathematical and Computational Biology. 615 24$aBiotechnology. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 676 $a573.79 700 $aStruzik$b Artur$0930625 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373920103321 996 $aMeasuring leg stiffness during vertical jumps$92093330 997 $aUNINA
