Hamstring strain injuries are one of the most common injuries in sprint-based sports with the mechanism of injury considered the result of an interaction between applied mechanical strain and the capacity of the muscle to tolerate strain. To date, in... Read More about Exploring the Role of Sprint Biomechanics in Hamstring Strain Injuries: A Current Opinion on Existing Concepts and Evidence..

The between-day repeatability, standard error of measurement and minimal detectable change for discrete kinematic parameters during treadmill running (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Kinematic parameters of the trunk, pelvis and lower limbs are frequently associated with both running injuries and performance, and the target of clinical interventions. Currently there is limited evidence reporting the between-day repeat...

The biomechanical characteristics of high‐performance endurance running (2018)
Journal Article

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.

A marker set for measuring the kinematics of the lumbar spine and thoracic spine during running : a technical note (2016)
Journal Article

A protocol for tracking the motion of the lumbar spine, which uses seven skin mounted markers, has been adopted in previous studies investigating running. However, this configuration of can be difficult to track with passive motion capture systems. T...
