Impact And Push-Off Force Symmetry In Dominant Versus Non-Dominant Legs During A Jump Landing/Cutting Task, Luis Rosado Apr 2006

Impact And Push-Off Force Symmetry In Dominant Versus Non-Dominant Legs During A Jump Landing/Cutting Task, Luis Rosado

McNair Scholars Research Journal

Our goal was to examine ground reaction forces (GRF) following a series of unanticipated jump landing and cutting tasks (JLC) and the differences in these GRF’s associated with leg dominance. Nine recreationally active (at least 3x/week of running, cycling, aerobics, or recreational sports participation) right leg dominant females with no history of lower extremity injuries participated in the current study. Each subject conducted a set of 12 (JLC) trails, four (JLC’s) to three different directions. The subjects either performed a left cutting (LC), right cutting (RC) at 30 degrees from center or a straight ahead center cutting (CC) maneuver. Landing …


The Effects Of Different Warm-Up Strategies In Olympic Weightlifting, Joshua Redden Apr 2005

The Effects Of Different Warm-Up Strategies In Olympic Weightlifting, Joshua Redden

McNair Scholars Research Journal

This study investigated the effects of two types of warm up routines utilizing the clean pull movement on maximal ground reaction force and barbell velocity during the second pull phase of the full clean movement. Five male and female national caliber weightlifters randomly completed a control condition (C) or one of two treatment conditions (T1, T2) in a crossover design. The control condition served to establish baseline data against which the kinematic and kinetic parameters of the two treatment conditions were compared. A repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare means between conditions. No significant differences were found between C, …
