Kinetic and Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Running During Regular Training Sessions for Collegiate Male Distance Runners Using Shoe-Based Wearable Sensors.

Context: Assessment of running mechanics has traditionally been conducted in laboratory settings; the advancement of wearable technology permits data collection during outdoor training sessions. Exploring changes in running mechanics across training-session types may assist runners, coaches, and sports medicine clinicians in improving performance and managing the injury risk.

Objective: To examine changes in running mechanics on the basis of routine training-session types.

FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT AND DYNAMIC BALANCE IN ENTRY LEVEL UNIVERSITY DANCERS.

Background: Dance requires integration and synergy between movement, postural stability, and body alignment to effectively execute the technical and aesthetic requirements of the performance. Evaluation of movement competency and dynamic balance provides opportunity to identify dysfunctional movement which may negatively impact both artistic and technical aspects of dance performance. Investigation of the relationships between movement competency and postural control may aid in technical development, performance improvement, and ultimately injury reduction.
