Methods in sports biomechanics
Many of the methodologically based research articles listed below are
related to computer simulation modelling. In order to demonstrate that
a model is an accurate representation of reality it is necessary to carry
out a quantitative evaluation of the model using performance data on an
individual subject.
As a consequence there is a need to determine subject-specific
model parameters such as segmental inertia and joint torque strength.
Various techniques for the determination of these parameters have been
developed by the Sports Biomechanics and Motor Control
Research Group.
