Lacrosse, Canada’s national summer sport, is a sport anchored in first nations’ tradition.

The aim of this study was to describe the motions, forces and muscle actions of the lumbar spine with the hybrid, overhand and sidearm throw. Twelve subjects were asked to throw at maximal speed while captured by a 3D motion analysis system. Flexion, extension and axial rotation angular velocities as well as p

Abstract:

Chronic knee injury accounts for nearly half of the injuries from which runners suffer. Impact and propulsive forces are believed to contribute to the development of overuse injuries, so one method of protecting runners might be to reduce those forces. The purpose of this study was to examine the biomechanical role of running poles by comparing normal running to pole running. Ground reaction forces, tibial acceleration, and video data were collected on ten middle-age male recreational runners with a history of knee pain. Subjects ran across a force plate at a constant velocity of 3.5-3.7m/s wi

Abstract:

Success in baseball batting is fundamental to the sport, however it remains one of, if not the most, challenging skills in sports to master. Batters utilize the kinetic chain to transfer energy from the lower body to the upper body to the bat, hoping to impart the maximum amount of energy into the ball. Scientists and coaches have researched the swing and developed theories on the keys for successful batting, but most of this research has been inadequate in attempting to fully describe the biomechanics of batting. The purposes of this study were to improve upon the methodology of previous r

Abstract:

Surgery to correct cam femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is increasingly popular.

The goal of this study was to compare the preoperative and postoperative lower-extremity joint kinematic and kinetic measurements of cam FAI patients during activities of daily living with use of a high-speed motion capture system and force platforms. We hypothesized that the lower-extremity joint mechanics of FAI patients during level walking and maximal squatting would resemble more thos

Abstract:

As the primary interface between the runner and the road, athletic footwear has a potentially important role to play in the reduction/management of chronic injuries and enhancement of performance. Over the past thirty years the running shoe has changed considerably. However, despite significant advances in footwear technology, the incidence of injury in distance runners has not altered meaningfully. It has been postulated that poor footwear selection is the mechanism behind this, whereby running shoes are incorrectly selected/inappropriate for the populations and situations in which they are w

Abstract:

Triathlon involves three different modes of endurance events, swim, bike and run, consecutively. Transitions between events are critical to be successful in the sport; however, many triathletes report impaired running performance due to adverse residual effects from cycling. One of the strategies that triathletes use to manage the adverse effects is to use a bicycle with a more vertical seat post angle. There is limited evidence that support the effectiveness of such bicycle geometry, but many of these studies lacks ecological validity. Twelve triathletes and cyclists completed a 20-km simulat

Three empirical studies were undertaken with experienced bend sprinters. Initial 3D kinematics investigations revealed an approximately 5% velocity decrease on the bend compared to the straight.

Abstract:

Low back pain (LBP) is a common occupational problem and continues to be the leading cause of occupational disability. Among diverse known risk factors, sitting is commonly considered as an important exposure related to LBP. Both modern living and contemporary work involve increased sedentary lifestyles, including more frequent and prolonged sitting. At present, however, the causal role of sitting on LBP development is controversial due to the contribution of several moderating factors (e.g., task demands, duration of exposures, and presence of muscle fatigue).

Abstract:

In golf, a range of shot types are necessary for successful performance, with driving and iron-play constituting the long-game. It is possible to vary long-game shots through altered trajectory, for example, by utilising right-to-left or left-to-right ball flight curvature, providing course management advantages. However, how golfers vary their biomechanics to achieve different trajectories is not scientifically understood. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to biomechanically investigate different trajectories hit with the same club. To investigate shot trajectories, accurate measures

Abstract:

Identifying potential risk factors that affect slip-induced falls is key to developing effective interventions for reduction of injuries caused by these accidents. Existing epidemiological evidence suggests that localized muscle fatigue might be considered as an intrinsic risk factor that causes lack of balance control leading to falls. The literature on the relationship between localized muscular fatigue of the lower extremity and the gait parameters affecting slip severity is scarce. The purpose of the present study was to examine how lower extremity fatigue (quadriceps) alters gait paramete

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: ACL-reconstructed (ACL-R) patients exhibit side-to-side asymmetries in movement and loading patterns after surgery, some of which are predictive of a secondary ACL injury. These asymmetries have not been fully assessed in healthy athletes. PURPOSE: To quantify side-to-side symmetry in secondary injury predictors in healthy athletes and compare these metrics to those measured in previous cohorts of ACL-R patients, as well as to assess differences in these metrics between two landing tasks and between sexes. METHODS: 60 healthy recreational athletes performed seven trials of a s
