The biomechanical characteristics of high-performance endurance running (2018)
Journal Article
Preece, S., Bramah, C., & Mason, D. (2019). The biomechanical characteristics of high-performance endurance running. European Journal of Sport Science, 19(6), 784-792. https://doi.org/10.1080/17461391.2018.1554707

The biomechanical profile of high-level endurance runners may represent a useful model that could be used for developing training programmes designed to improve running style. This study, therefore, sought to compare the biomechanical characteristics... Read More about The biomechanical characteristics of high-performance endurance running.

The biomechanical effect of trunk inclination on joint moments and muscle activation in people with knee osteoarthritis (2018)
Thesis
Algarni, A. (in press). The biomechanical effect of trunk inclination on joint moments and muscle activation in people with knee osteoarthritis. (Thesis). University of Salford

Knee osteoarthritis is a progressive disease, which is associated with pain, stiffness and disability. Previous research has demonstrated that the progression of knee OA is influenced by numerous biomechanical factors, which will affect the loading o...

Is there a pathological gait associated with common soft tissue running injuries? (2018)
Journal Article
Bramah, C., Preece, S., Gill, N., & Herrington, L. (2018). Is there a pathological gait associated with common soft tissue running injuries?. American Journal of Sports Medicine, 46(12), 3023-3031. https://doi.org/10.1177/0363546518793657

Background: Previous research has demonstrated clear associations between specific running injuries and patterns of lower limb kinematics. However, there has been minimal research investigating whether the same kinematic patterns could underlie multi...

Is there a minimum complexity required for the biomechanical modelling of running? (2018)
Journal Article
Gill, N., Preece, S., & Baker, R. (2018). Is there a minimum complexity required for the biomechanical modelling of running?. Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express, 4, 055016. https://doi.org/10.1088/2057-1976/aad747

Mathematical models have the potential to provide insight into human running. Existing models can be categorised as either simple or complex, and there appears to be a lack of natural progression in model development. By sequentially adding complexit...
