Typical GRF components for running (left foot contact running at 6.02ms-1 ) measured by a force platform under laboratory conditions. Over the last 30 to 35 years, GRF patterns associated with running have been reported in the literature, resulting in a significant body of knowledge regarding the functional significance of these measurements. The vertical component of GRF opposes the downward motion of the body caused by gravity before propelling it upward for the next flight phase. The anterior-posterior component of GRF acts in the direction of progression and can either reduce or increase running velocity [10]. The medio-lateral

Measurement of ground reaction force (GRF) in running provides a direct indication of the loads to which the body is subjected, at each foot-ground contact, and can provide an objective explanation for performance outcomes. Traditionally, the collection of three orthogonal component GRF data in running requires an athlete to complete a series of re...

The purpose of the present study was to establish the intrasession and intersession reliability of variables obtained from a force plate that was used to quantitate lower extremity inter-limb asymmetry during the bilateral countermovement jump (CMJ). Secondarily, a comparison was performed to determine the influence of the jump protocol CMJ with or...
