A Dynamics and Stability Framework for Avian Jumping Take-off

, 2018
Jumping take-off in birds is an explosive behaviour with the goal of providing a rapid transition from ground to airborne locomotion. An effective jump is predicated on the need to maintain dynamic stability through the acceleration phase.

Hypogravity simulation using the Variable Gravity Suspension System: A technical report

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 4, Page 1580-1596, 1 April 2026.
Abstract Human movement has evolved within Earth's gravitational environment (1 g; −9.81 m s−2). Future human exploration of terrestrial bodies, including the Moon (0.17 g; −1.62 m s−2) and Mars (0.38 g; −3.71 m s−2), will require astronauts to live and work within reduced gravitational environments (hypogravity).

Navigating the Data Processing Maze: A Systematic Review of Jump Height Calculations Using Force Platforms

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Vertical jump height estimates the ability to oppose gravity and lower body neuromuscular performance in athletes and various clinical populations. The use of force platforms for measuring jump height is increasingly popular due to technological advancements and the equipment's relative ease of use in various settings.

Physical Characteristics of Fast Roping in British Elite Law Enforcement Officers

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Elite law enforcement and special forces operators around the world have a unique skill set, including some risky methods of entry into a scene of operation. With fast roping being actively utilized by this population, it is important to gain an understanding of the physical demands of the task.

Re‐Embedding European Market Society? EU Labour Regulation and the ‘Double Countermovement’ to Market‐Making Integration

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 881-901, March 2026.
Abstract Scholars who have examined European integration from a neo‐Polanyian perspective have long been sceptical about the opportunities for a ‘countermovement’ against the EU's market‐making bias. However, as part of a broader ‘social turn’, recent years have seen the adoption of EU legislation to promote fair and decent working conditions. Based on
