The Local Biomechanical Analysis of Lower Limb on Counter- Movement Jump Between Barefoot and Shod People with Different Foot Morphology
38th International Society of Biomechanics in Sport Conference, Physical conference cancelled, Online Activities: July 20-24, 2020 THE LOCAL BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF LOWER LIMB ON COUNTER- MOVEMENT JUMP BETWEEN BAREFOOT AND SHOD PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT FOOT MORPHOLOGY Zhiqiang Liang1,2 Jiabin Yu1,2 Yaodong Gu1,2 and Jianshe Li1 Research academy of grand health, Ningbo University, Ningbo, China1 Faculty of sports science, Ningbo University, Ningbo, China2 The aim of this study was to explore the kinematic variations in knee and ankle joints and the ground reaction force between habitually barefoot (HBM) and shod males (HSM) during countermovement jump. Twenty-eight males (14 HBM,14 HSM) participated in this experiment. An 8-camera Vicon motion system was used to collect the kinematic data of knee and ankle joints from 3 dimensions and the force plate was used to collect the ground reaction force in take-off phase. Results in take-off phase showed that HSM produced two peak forces to take off and showed significantly greater knee ROM in sagittal plane, as well as greater ankle inversion and external rotation. In conclusion, the foot morphological differences can result in the different influence on jump performance. The relevant practioner should pay close attention to the effect of foot morphology on jump in training. KEYWORDS: foot morphology; vertical jump performance; ground reaction force; kinematics. INTRODUCTION: Habitually barefoot population (HBM) has some differences in morphology compared to habitually shod population (HSM) when running (Lieberman et al., 2010), which can lead to different performance and partly reduce sports injuries (Lieberman et al., 2010). Biomechanical studies reported that the separated large toe of HBM and the other toes of HSM had the speciﬁc prehensile function (Ashizawa et al., 1997); these characteristics lead to load and initiate larger push forces for take-off (Tam et al., 2016).

Lammers August 2004 This dissertation entitled THE BIODYNAMICS OF ARBOREAL LOCOMOTION IN THE GRAY SHORT- TAILED OPOSSUM (MONODELPHIS DOMESTICA) BY ANDREW R. LAMMERS has been approved for the Department of Biological Sciences and the College of Arts and Sciences by Audrone R. Biknevicius Associate Professor of Biomedical Sciences Leslie A. Flemming Dean, College of Arts and Sciences LAMMERS, ANDREW R. Ph.D. August 2004. Biological Sciences The biodynamics of arboreal locomotion in the gray short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica). (147 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Audrone R. Biknevicius Most studies of animal locomotor biomechanics examine movement on a level, flat trackway. However, small animals must negotiate heterogenerous terrain that includes changes in orientation and diameter. Furthermore, animals which are specialized for arboreal locomotion may solve the biomechanical problems that are inherent in substrates that are sloped and/or narrow differently from animals which are considered terrestrial. Thus I studied the effects of substrate orientation and diameter on locomotor kinetics and kinematics in the gray short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica). The genus Monodelphis is considered the most terrestrially adapted member of the family Didelphidae, but nevertheless these opossums are reasonably skilled at climbing. The first study (Chapter 2) examines the biomechanics of moving up a 30° incline and down a 30° decline. Substrate reaction forces (SRFs), limb kinematics, and required coefficient of friction were measured.

The First Dsungaripterid Pterosaur from the Kimmeridgian of Germany and the Biomechanics of Pterosaur Long Bones
The first dsungaripterid pterosaur from the Kimmeridgian of Germany and the biomechanics of pterosaur long bones MICHAEL FASTNACHT Fastnacht, M. 2005. The first dsungaripterid pterosaur from the Kimmeridgian of Germany and the biomechanics of pterosaur long bones. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 50 (2): 273–288. A partial vertebral column, pelvis and femora of a newly discovered pterosaur are described. The remains from the Upper Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) of Oker (northern Germany) can be identified as belonging to the Dsungaripteridae because the cross−sections of the bones have relatively thick walls. The close resemblance in morphology to the Lower Cretaceous Dsungaripterus allows identification of the specimen as the first and oldest record of dsungaripterids in Central Europe. Fur− thermore, it is the oldest certain record of a dsungaripterid pterosaur world wide. The biomechanical characteristics of the dsungaripterid long bone construction shows that it has less resistance against bending and torsion than in non−dsungari− pteroid pterosaurs, but has greater strength against compression and local buckling. This supports former suggestions that dsungaripterids inhabited continental areas that required an active way of life including frequent take−off and landing phases. The reconstruction of the lever arms of the pelvic musculature and the mobility of the femur indicates a quadrupedal terrestrial locomotion.

Body Form and Gait in Terrestrial Vertebrates1
THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE Vol. 72 JULY, 1972 No. 4 BODY FORM AND GAIT IN TERRESTRIAL VERTEBRATES1 WARREN F. WALKER, JR. Department of Biology, Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio 44074 One appeal of pure research is that in answering certain questions, new problems arise, and one is led on and on into a progressively deeper study of a problem. Certain aspects of terrestrial locomotion can be viewed as an example of how research in this area has shifted from description to quantitative analysis and on to a consideration of the interrelationships between form and function. Much research in anatomy today is at the functional level, that is, it is a search for an explanation of structure in terms of the functions the structures are performing, and the intermeshing of certain structures and their functions with those of other parts of the organism. My research animal has been the Central Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta marginata). In common with other terrestrial ectotherms, turtles carry their body close to the ground when they walk, but turtles are unique in being encased in a protective shell. Corollaries of the shell are a short, broad, and rigid trunk, and these features have important locomotor consequences. Locomotion was studied first not in turtles but in mammals. Careful analyses of locomotion can be traced back to Eadweard Muybridge's study of horse gaits, which he began in 1872 (Muybridge, 1887). Muybridge was a photographer who, in a period preceding cine photography, devised an ingenious battery of 24 still cameras that could be triggered in quick succession to produce a series of still pictures indicating the sequence of limb movements (fig.
