Kinetic and kinematic strategies integrating the trunk and lower limbs for a powerful soccer kick in amateur players.

This study investigated the kinematic (KmS) and kinetic (KnS) strategies integrating the trunk and lower limbs to achieve maximal kicking performance. Although strategies consisting of individual joint movements or moments are known, strategies combining joint movements or moments of the trunk and lower limbs have been less studied. Fifty adult amateur soccer players were assessed.

Interaction of foot and hip factors identifies Achilles tendinopathy occurrence in recreational runners.

Objectives: To investigate the interaction of ankle-foot complex and hip joint factors with Achilles Tendinopathy (AT) occurrence in recreational runners.

Design: Cross-sectional.

Setting: Research Laboratory.
