running Flashcards
during early flight what decelerates backward rotation of thigh?
Eccentric hip flexion
during early flight decelerates backward rotation of leg/foot?
Eccentric knee extension
during midflight what accelerates thigh forward?
Concentric hip flexion
during late flight what rotates thigh backward in preparation for foot contact
Concentric hip extension
during late flight accelerates leg backward, limiting knee extension; stops before foot strike (aided by concentric knee flexion to minimize braking at touchdown)
Eccentric knee flexion
during early support minimizes braking effect of foot strike
concentric hip extension
what resists tendency of hip/ankle extension to hyperextend knee; absorbs landing shock
Brief concentric knee flexion followed by eccentric hip extension
what helps absorb shock and control forward rotation of tibia over ankle
Eccentric plantarflexion
during late support what ecelerates backward thigh rotation; rotates trunk in preparation for
forward takeoff
Eccentric hip flexion
what propels center of gravity forward
Concentric knee extension
what aids in propulsion
Concentric plantarflexion
