Contemporary and novel assessment of biomechanics in plyometric and ballistic exercise and the implications for elite and recreational athletes
Thesis
Jarvis, M. (in press). Contemporary and novel assessment of biomechanics in plyometric and ballistic exercise and the implications for elite and recreational athletes. (Thesis). University of Salford

Jumping exercises, comprising plyometrics and ballistic jumps, are commonly used and important in the development of athletic performance. However, our ability to describe training doses with accurate and meaningful measures lags significantly behind...

Kinematics and kinetics of maximal velocity sprinting and specificity of training in elite athletes
Thesis
Sides, D. Kinematics and kinetics of maximal velocity sprinting and specificity of training in elite athletes. (Thesis). University of Salford

Maximal velocity sprinting has been studied extensively from a biomechanical standpoint, however little is known of the biomechanics characteristics at sprint velocities that typify elite athletic performance, due to the difficulties in accessing suc...
