For a very similar FTot, He is able to produce 25% more HZT force…


WCS

The higher the speed, the larger the difference in RF….

Question: How can we produce high HZT force AT HIGH SPEED ???


Synchronized EMG and 3D Forces Sprint and repeated sprint (fatigue)

Foot and knee 2D motion

First Results….

Isokinetic Force alone NOT correlated to ground reaction forces

EMG alone: NOT correlated to ground reaction forces
