The Influence of Neck Stiffness, Impact Location, and Angle on Peak Linear Acceleration, Shear Force, and Energy Loading Measures of Hockey Helmet Impacts
(2016)
Head and brain injuries like concussion affect many hockey players throughout their playing careers. Hockey helmets remain to be the best form of head protection available as they function well to reduce the occurrence of ...
Exploring a Potential Means of Measuring Running Economy above Anaerobic Threshold
(2016)
Running economy (RE) is an important predictor of endurance performance. To date, the typical methods of measuring RE involves calculating an athlete’s VO2 (ml-1·kg−1·km−1) at a known speed during a physiological steady-state. ...
The Effect of Spring Loaded Single-Hip Support Cane Mechanisms on Upper and Affected Lower Limb Ground Reaction Forces, Muscle Activity, and Self-perceived Ease of Use
(2016)
The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effect of commercial spring loaded
single-tip canes on ground reaction forces, impulse, and EMG activation in the upper limb during
ambulation. Ground reaction ...
