Application of Leg, Vertical, and Joint Stiffness in Running Performance: A Literature Overview

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Stiffness, the resistance to deformation due to force, has been used to model the way in which the lower body responds to landing during cyclic motions such as running and jumping. Vertical, leg, and joint stiffness provide a useful model for investigating the store and release of potential elastic energy via the musculotendinous unit in the stretch ...
