Musculoskeletal properties, coordination and performance in explosive movements
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to explain how and why performance in explosive movements depends on musculoskeletal properties and coordination. First, a musculoskeletal model is presented that has muscle stimulation as only independent input, and allows for forward simulation of explosive movements. Subsequently, a theoretical framework is presented for analyzing simulation results: performance depends on muscle work and efficacy, and muscle work production can best be analyzed by looking at contractile element force over shortening distance. To illustrate the approach, it is used to explain how and why performance in vertical squat jumping depends on muscle strength and coordination.

Physical fitness in children with developmental coordination disorder: measurement matters.
Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) experience considerable difficulties coordinating and controlling their body movements during functional motor tasks. Thus, it is not surprising that children with DCD do not perform well on tests of physical fitness. The aim of this study was to determine whether deficits in motor coordination influence the ability of children with DCD to...

Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of sensory and movement speed manipulations on bimanual coordination dynamics. Here we compared to what extent the absence and or bias of different sensory modalities affect performance of coordination of movements. Methods: Fifteen physical education students of Shahid Beheshti University (aged 18-25 years) were partici...
متن کاملThe coordination of arm movements: an experimentally confirmed mathematical model.
This paper presents studies of the coordination of voluntary human arm movements. A mathematical model is formulated which is shown to predict both the qualitative features and the quantitative details observed experimentally in planar, multijoint arm movements. Coordination is modeled mathematically by defining an objective function, a measure of performance for any possible movement. The uniq...
