Practical Lessons on Running and Jumping from Computer Simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Running and jumping are important movements for the success of athletes. Researchers in biomechanics, motor control, and sports science often use computer modeling and simulation to study the optimal performances of these movements. Simulation techniques have not been widely applied to actually assessing and improving athletic performance, although the potential for this application exists. In this review, we (1) present an introduction to the basic concepts of modeling and simulation with the athlete and coach in mind, (2) summarize the unique information that has been gained over the last 30 years from computer simulations of human running and jumping, and (3) offer suggestions on how coaches and athletes can use this information in practice to improve performance. * Corresponding author: R.H.
