This study aims to analyze the biomechanical difference between two legs of male badminton players when they land on one leg, thereby providing some guidance for preventing sports injury. Ten were selected as subjects. They did single-leg landing movement successfully three times. The kinematic data obtained by Vicon infrared high-speed motion capture system. kinetic KISTLER three-dimensional f...

Bats typically roost head-under-heels but they cannot hover in this position, thus, landing on a ceiling presents a biomechanical challenge. To land, a bat must perform an acrobatic flip that brings the claws of the toes in contact with the ceiling and do so gently enough as to avoid injury to its slender hindlimbs. In the present study, we sought to determine how bats land, to seek a link betw...

Guidance and control of aircraft in the landing phase imposes extra pilot work loads, hence application of automatic landing control systems is of great importance. In this study automatic landing control systems are introduced and an optimal landing control system is designed. The control system performance criteria are based on minimum control effort. The designed system is simulated for a tr...

PURPOSE This study aimed to determine whether the tendency of women to exhibit higher knee extensor moments relative to hip extensor moments during the deceleration phase of landing can be explained by the relative strength of the knee and hip extensors. METHODS Forty recreationally active individuals participated in this study (20 men and 20 women). The maximum isometric strength of the knee...

Soldiers are subjected to increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries in night operations because of limited visual input. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of vision removal on lower extremity kinematics and vertical ground reaction forces during two-legged drop landings. The researchers tested 139 Air Assault Soldiers performing a landing task with and without vision. Remov...
