This book was released on 2020-08-16 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foot is the part of the lower limb distal to the leg. It is often compared with the hand is tactile grasping organ, whereas the functions of the foot are support and locomotion. The arches of the foot are the longitudinal and the transverse, on the medial side of the foot, a longitudinal arch is formed by the calcareous, talus, navicular, cuneiforms, and the first three metatarsal. On the lateral side of the foot, a longitudinal arch is formed by the calcaneus, cuboid and the lateral two metatarsals. The transverse or metatarsal arch is formed by the navicular, cuneiforms, and cuboids together with five metatarsals. These bony arches, which are the result of the intrinsic mechanical arrangement of the bones, are supported by ligaments. During movement, they receive additional support from muscles, chiefly from those that invert and Evert the foot. The 26 bones composing the skeleton of the foot are primarily structured for strong, flexible, co-ordinate movement. Architecturally the foot forms an anterior metatarsal arch, an outer longitudinal arch and the high inner longitudinal arch on its medial aspect. The main function of the arch is to absorb the shock of eight. Bearing and to allow space for planter muscles, nerves and blood vessels. Body weight is conducted to the foot via the leg bone of the through the supporting bone the talus. A mortise is formed by the mall oil of the fibula and the talus below the talus is the calcimines. The foot makes surface contact with the calcaneus and the metatarsal heads, an intricate system of planter muscles and elastic and arched of the foot. Additional support is afforded by a suspension of muscles stemming from the leg and ending with in the longitudinal arch, Dorsiflexion together with planter ankle flexion, is permitted at the talotibial, together, with planter ankle flexion, is permitted at the taloctibial articulation, whereas inversion and version of the foot take place at the talocalcaneal and intertarsal joints.

This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conflict between how much athletic ability is rooted in individual genetics as opposed to the influence of training and other factors is often expressed as "nature versus nurture." Although precise attribution between athletic nature and nurture are impossible, it is a generally accepted sport science proposition that genes represent approximately 50%% of athletic variation in performance, with 50%% attributable to both the individual athlete's response to training, as well as social factors, such as the support provided to the athlete in pursuit of his or her goals.

Download or read book Measuring Leg Stiffness During Vertical Jumps written by Artur Struzik and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a thorough description and critical discussion of different approaches to measuring leg stiffness during vertical jumps, as well as practical applications. Various topics covered include the applicability of the spring-mass (linear) model of the human motion system, leg stiffness controversies and interpretations, and computational and measuring methods of leg stiffness during vertical jumps. Additionally, a description of a research project performed expressly for inclusion in this book is given; the study aims to determine normative values for leg stiffness for young, healthy, non-athletes during single vertical jumps to maximal and specific heights. A final chapter covers additional perspectives, enabling the reader to acquire different perspectives on measuring leg stiffness during vertical jumps across a breadth of information and interpretations. Measuring Leg Stiffness During Vertical Jumps: Theory and Methods is an ideal book for researchers and practitioners in the fields of biomedical engineering, biomechanics, and sport sciences.

Download or read book Complex Sport Analytics written by Felix Lebed and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to combine principles from analytics, complex systems theory, multi-disciplinary diagnostics and sport performance analysis. It considers athletes, teams, and sport organizations in individual and team games as complex systems, and demonstrates how complexity studies can enrich analytics and give us a more sophisticated understanding of the causalities of winning and losing in sports. Part I introduces the basic categories of analytics and their uses in elite sport. Part II presents an original conception of sport analytics both as a complex of different kinds of processes and as a complexity-adapted view of human systems acting in sport performance and management. Part III considers the main principles of complex sport analytics, expanding the prism of complexity to include all levels of a sport organization from athletes, coaches and trainers to top decision makers, and suggests practical applications and simulations for cases of both individual and team sports. This is illuminating reading for any advanced student, researcher or practitioner working in sport analytics, performance analysis, coaching science or sport management.
