چکیده

Sports involving throwing, striking and kicking activities, such as tennis, squash, baseball, football, among others, demand the production of maximum speed at the end of the distal segment in a kinematic chain. Research done on the biomechanics of these various, yet somehow similar sporting techniques, suggests that athletes generate large hand and foot speeds as a result of a proximal-to-distal sequencing motion. In other words, motion initiates in the larger, heavier proximal body segments and, as the energy increases, proceeds outward to the smaller, lighter distal segments (1). The way in which these mechanics are associated with distal end maximal speeds can be explained by Bunn’s “summation of speed principle” (3). As the name suggests, this principal states that each succeeding segment initiates motion at the time of maximum speed of its proximal segment, generating higher distal endpoint speeds than the latter.

Effects of Training against Elastic Resistance on Jab Punch Performance in Elite Junior Athletes

Ability to perform rapid open-kinetic chain movements (e.g. kicking, throwing, hitting, or punching) is an important prerequisite for success in various sports. The aims of the present study were (1) to investigate the effect of elastic resistance training (ERT) on the performance of jab punch, (2) to explore the associated changes in movement kinematic and kinetic patterns, and (3) to assess p...

Correlation between Trunk-Pelvis Inter-Segmental Coordination Parameters during Walking and Disability Level in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients

Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) disability has been particularly frustrating because its treatment has been a great therapeutic challenge. Disability has been suggested to depend on different factors that should be found and considered in the medical management. The inter-segmental coordination is often impaired in CLBP subjects; however, to the best of our knowledge, there is no evide...

An immediate effect of PNF specific mobilization on the angle of trunk rotation and the Trunk-Pelvis-Hip Angle range of motion in adolescent girls with double idiopathic scoliosis—a pilot study

BACKGROUND Impairment of spine rotation is a key concept in several theories explaining the pathogenesis and progression of scoliosis. In previous studies, a more limited range of motion in scoliotic girls compared to their non-scoliotic peers was noted. The Trunk-Pelvis-Hip Angle measurement is a test used to assess the range of motion in the trunk-pelvis-hip complex in the transverse plane. T...
