The proper execution of the sprint start is crucial in determining the performance during a sprint race. In this respect, when moving from the crouch to the upright position, trunk kinematics is a key element. The purpose of this study was to validate the use of a trunk mounted Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) in estimating […]

The half-squat is the most widely used exercise in the resistance training, which must be considered optimal only if is specific and safe. Safeness relies, with other factors, in using the correct technique and being provided with adequate monitoring and feedback. In this perspective, this study a) provided a thoroughly characterization of the less dangerous […]
