چکیده

We sought to explore an intriguing question: how can muscle mass be redistributed in leg muscles to allow for maximal jump performance? We performed forward simulations of human jumping movements using a foursegment inverted pendulum model of the skeleton and hilltype models of six leg muscles (soleus, gastrocnemius, vasti, hamstrings, rectus femoris and glutei). Preliminary results suggest that selectively changing relative muscle crosssectional area and muscle lengths can result in jump height improvement by approximately 20%. The resulting muscle distributions are profoundly different than average human muscle distributions. In contrast, modest changes to the timing of muscle onsets are required for the new muscle distributions.

Optimizing the actuation of musculoskeletal model by genetic algorithm to simulate the vertical jump

In human body movement simulation such as vertical jump by a forward dynamic model, optimal control theories must be used. In the recent years, new methods were created for solving optimization problems which they were adopted from animal behaviors and environment events such as Genetic algorithm, Particle swarm and Imperialism competitive. In this work, the skeletal model was constructed by Ne...

The Effect of Six Weeks Selected Core Stability Exercises on the Jumping-Landing Pattern and Trunk Muscular Endurance in Adolescent Volleyball Players with Trunk Defect

Purpose: The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the most vulnerable knee ligaments. The biomechanical and neuromuscular differences of the trunk during sports activities are the main cause of non-collision injury. Therefore, the aim of the present research was to investigate the effect of six weeks selected core stability exercises on the jumping-landing pattern and trunk endurance in adolesc...
