The largest Lyapunov exponent of gait in young and elderly individuals: A systematic review

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. The largest Lyapunov exponent (LyE) is an accepted method to quantify gait stability in young and old adults. However, a range of LyE values has been reported in the literature for healthy young and elderly adults in normal …

Effect of noise and filtering on largest Lyapunov exponent of time series associated with human walking

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd This study aimed to determine the effect of added noise, filtering and time series length on the largest Lyapunov exponent (LyE) value calculated for time series obtained from a passive dynamic walker. The simplest passive dynamic …

Constraints on dynamic stability during forward, backward and lateral locomotion in skilled football players

© 2014 European College of Sport Science. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of speed and plane of motion on stability during locomotion in skilled football players. Ten male national-level football players participated in this study to …

A minimal limit-cycle model to profile movement patterns of individuals during agility drill performance: Effects of skill level

© 2015 Elsevier B.V. Identification of control strategies during agility performance is significant in understanding movement behavior. This study aimed at providing a fundamental mathematical model for describing the motion of participants during an …

An alternative approach to describing agility in sports through establishment of a relationship between velocity and radius of curvature

Abstract: Agility is an essential part of many athletic activities. Currently, agility drill duration is the sole criterion used for evaluation of agility performance. The relationship between drill duration and factors such as acceleration, …

Quantifying coordination and coordination variability in backward versus forward running: Implications for control of motion

© 2015 Elsevier B.V. The aims of this study were to compare coordination and coordination variability in backward and forward running and to investigate the effects of speed on coordination variability in both backward and forward running. Fifteen …

Quantifying foot placement variability and dynamic stability of movement to assess control mechanisms during forward and lateral running

Research has indicated that human walking is more unstable in the secondary, rather than primary plane of progression. However, the mechanisms of controlling dynamic stability in different planes of progression during running remain unknown. The aim …

Effect of speed on local dynamic stability of locomotion under different task constraints in running

© 2014, © 2014 European College of Sport Science. Abstract: A number of studies have investigated effects of speed on local dynamic stability of walking, although this relationship has been rarely investigated under changing task constraints, such as …

Quantification of stability in an agility drill using linear and nonlinear measures of variability

© 2014, Institute of Machine Design and Operation. All rights reserved. This study implemented linear and nonlinear methods of measuring variability to determine differences in stability of two groups of skilled (n = 10) and unskilled (n = 10) …
