Title: Biomechanics of Walking and Sprinting

Biomechanics of Walking and Sprinting
  • D. Gordon E. Robertson, PhD, FCSB
  • Biomechanics, Laboratory,
  • School of Human Kinetics,
  • University of Ottawa, Ottawa, CANADA

2
Quantitative Domains
  • Temporal
  • phases (stance/swing) and events (foot-strike,
    toe-off), stride rate
  • Electromyography
  • muscle activation patterns
  • Kinematic (motion description)
  • stride length, velocity, ranges of motion,
    acceleration
  • Kinetic (causes of motion)
  • ground reaction forces, pressure patterns, joint
    forces, moments of force, work, energy and power

3
Temporal Analysis
  • Stride time (s)
  • Stride rate 1/time (/s)
  • Stride cadence 120 x rate (b/min)
  • Instrumentation
  • Photocells and timers
  • Videography (1 frame
    1/30 second)
  • Metronome

Kinetic Analysis
  • Causes of motion
  • Forces and moments of force
  • Work, energy and power
  • Impulse and momentum
  • Inverse Dynamics derives forces and moments from
    kinematics and body segment parameters (mass,
    centre of gravity, and moment of inertia)

Force Platforms
Kistler force platforms
21
Steps for Inverse Dynamics
  • Space diagram of the lower extremity

22
Divide Body into Segments and Make Free-Body
Diagrams
  • Make free-body diagrams of each segment

23
Add all Known Forces to FBD
  • Weight (W)
  • Ground reaction force (Fg)

24
Apply Newtons Laws of Motion to Terminal Segment
  • Start analysis with terminal segment(s), e.g.,
    foot or hand

25
Apply Reactions of Terminal Segment to Distal End
of Next Segment in Kinematic Chain
  • Continue to next link in the kinematic chain,
    e.g., leg or forearm

26
Repeat with Next segment in Chain or Begin with
Another Limb
  • Repeat until all segments have been considered,
    e.g., thigh or arm

27
Normal Walking Example
  • Female subject
  • Laboratory walkway
  • Speed was 1.77 m/s (fast)
  • IFS ipsilateral foot-strike
  • ITO ipsilateral toe-off
  • CFS contralateral foot-strike
  • CTO contralateral toe-off

Motion Analysis
  • Cinefilm, video or infrared video
  • Athlete is filmed and locations of joint centres
    are digitized
  • body is modeled as a system of connected segments

34
Start Phase
  • No motion permitted when gun sounds
  • No force on blocks for 0.10 seconds before gun
    sounds
  • Gun fires and there is a delay before sprinter
    hears gun (unless blocks have speakers)
  • Delay between when gun fires and force is applied
    to blocks (time for message to reach muscles at 6
    m/s)
  • Taller sprinters take longer to start

35
Acceleration Phase
  • Each athlete has his/her own rate of acceleration
  • The whole race takes between 42 to 48 steps (21
    to 24 strides)
  • At maximum speed, stride length (1 stride 2
    steps) is over 4.5 metres long!
  • Can last to 70 metres

36
Last 60 Metres of Race
37
Constant Velocity Phase
  • athletes achieve maximum, constant velocity
    between 50 and 70 metres
  • speed
  • 9 to 12 metres / second
  • 32 to 43 kilometres / hour
  • foot achieves twice this velocity (86 km/h!)

38
Fastest Sprinter (in 1996)Johnson or Bailey?
  • Johnsons 200 m record 19.32 s
  • Each half 9.66 s?
  • Baileys 100 m record 9.84 s
  • US reporters claimed Johnson was faster?
  • Johnson had running start for last 100 m
  • At 12 m/s Bailey runs 100 m in 8.33 s, 200 m
    time could be 18.17 (new WR)!
  • race in Toronto confirmed Bailey was Fastest Man
    in the World

39
Stride Analysis
  • swing phase of one leg
  • world-class male sprinter
  • 50 m into 100 m competitive race (t 10.06 s)
  • analysis of hip and knee only (ankle forces not
    significant during swing)

40
  • Hip angular velocity power
  • initial burst of power to create swing
  • 3000-4000 W peak power by iliopsoas and rectus
    femoris
  • latter burst to drive leg down
  • 2800-3600 W peak power by gluteals

41
  • Knee angular velocity power
  • initial burst of power to stop flexion by muscle
    block not by knee muscles
  • small burst for extension
  • final burst to stop extension by eccentric
    contraction of hamstrings
