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...
