Book excerpt: His study investigated the lower limb biomechanics during downhill and uphill running in habitual forefoot strike and habitual rearfoot strike runners. Fifteen habitual forefoot strike and fifteen habitual rearfoot strike recreational male runners ran at 3 m/s ± 5% during level, uphill and downhill overground running on a ramp mounted at 6° and 9°. Results showed that hill running had similar impacts on joint angles in rearfoot strike and forefoot strike runners, causing a decrease in hip flexion at initial contact during downhill running, an increase in knee flexion angle at initial contact during uphill running and a decrease in peak hip flexion angle. In addition to differences in ankle joint angle due to landing pattern difference between rearfoot strike and forefoot strike runners, forefoot strike runners had a more flexed hip angle during downhill running. Forefoot strike runners had an absent impact peak in all running conditions, while the impact peaks only decreased during the uphill conditions in rearfoot strike runners. Active peaks decreased during the downhill conditions in forefoot strike runners while active loading rates increased during downhill conditions in rearfoot strike runners. Compared to the level condition, parallel braking peaks were larger during downhill conditions and parallel propulsive peaks were larger during uphill conditions. Peak hip flexion moment was significantly greater while peak knee flexion moment was significantly lower in both groups during the downhill 9° condition. Forefoot strike runners had larger peak plantar flexion moments and peak ankle power absorption compared to rearfoot strike runners during all conditions. Forefoot strike runners had decreased peak power absorption at the knee joint during downhill and level running conditions. Combined with previous biomechanics studies, our findings of no impact peak in forefoot strike runners suggests that this landing pattern may have potential in reducing overuse running injuries. Forefoot strike running reduces loading at the knee joint and can be used as an effective strategy to reduce stress at the knee joint experienced with rearfoot strike running.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid change-of-direction tasks have been associated with non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and females are more likely to suffer this injury compared to males. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of running and three rapid change-of-direction tasks and determine whether sex differences exist across tasks. The biomechanical factors included knee and hip kinematics and kinetics, in addition to static lower extremity alignment and dynamic hip strength. Data were collected in a controlled laboratory setting on healthy collegiate female and male basketball and soccer players (N = 21). Three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics were recorded in conditions of running, lateral false step, sidestep cut, and a combination of a lateral false step with a sidestep cut. Static lower extremity alignment was represented by measurement of standing Q-angle. Hip strength was determined by measuring isokinetic eccentric hip abduction strength. Three queries were addressed: (1) sex differences in the kinetics and kinematics of the knee and hip during running and rapid change-of-direction tasks, (2) the effect of sex on relationships of standing Q-angle and hip strength to frontal plane knee biomechanics, and (3) description of the patterning of knee and hip biomechanics across tasks and sex. The results of this study suggest knee abduction and internal moments of knee adduction and hip abduction increase when athletes step laterally in combination with a sidestep cut compared to all other tasks. Females demonstrate differences in hip position and loading compared to males across the four tasks. The data did not support evidence of an effect of sex on standing Q-angle or hip abduction strength. Additionally, no relationships between sex, standing Q-angle, or hip abduction strength to frontal plane knee biomechanics were found. Four patterns of knee and hip kinematics and kinetics were found to describe lower extremity biomechancis during running and rapid change-of direction tasks. In summary, the addition of frontal plane motion and loading during change-of-direction tasks significantly affected knee position in a manner associated with ACL injury. Differences in lower extremity kinematics and kinetics between females and males appear to be specific to hip position and loading.
