Evaluation of a novel device to assess combined knee flexion and hip extension, and hip flexion force production capability (2024)
Thesis
Calderbank, J. (2024). Evaluation of a novel device to assess combined knee flexion and hip extension, and hip flexion force production capability. (Thesis). University of Salford

Background: The late flight phase (FP) of the sprint running action is essential to enable the ‘forward most limb’ to prepare for ground contact. Kinetic and kinematic factors during the FP show association to sprinting speed. While isometric assessm...

Biomechanical determinants of injury risk and performance during change of direction : implications for screening and intervention (2020)
Thesis
Dos'Santos, T. Biomechanical determinants of injury risk and performance during change of direction : implications for screening and intervention. (Thesis). University of Salford

Changing direction is a key action linked to successful performance in multidirectional sports, but also
an action associated with non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Despite the importance
of directional changes for sports per... Read More about Biomechanical determinants of injury risk and performance during change of direction : implications for screening and intervention.
