Name Time Method The changes in knee angles asymmetry after prolonged effort in running on a treadmill. Several measurements during 30 minutes run. Knee angles will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.
The changes in step length asymmetry after prolonged effort in running on a treadmill. Several measurements during 20-30 minutes run. Step length will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.
The changes in flight time asymmetry after prolonged effort in running on a treadmill. Several measurements during 30 minutes run. Flight time will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.
The changes in hip angles asymmetry after prolonged effort in running on a treadmill. Several measurements during 30 minutes run. Hip angles will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.
The changes in contact time asymmetry after prolonged effort in running on a treadmill. Several measurements during 30 minutes run. Contact time will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.
The changes in ground reaction impulse asymmetry after prolonged effort in running on a treadmill. Several measurements during 30 minutes run. Vertical ground reaction impulse will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.
The changes in vertical ground reaction force asymmetry after prolonged effort in running. on a treadmill Several measurements during 30 minutes run. Vertical ground reaction force will be recorded by the v-gait analysis system during the running test for 20 seconds at certain points of the run: minute 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. If the subject will ask to stop the run, 20 seconds will be recorded prior to the termination of the run.
