Human patellar-tendon rupture.
TL;DR: The first biomechanical analysis of a human patellar-tendon rupture during actual sports competition is reported, providing evidence that the range of maximum tensile stress of the tendon may be considerably greater during rapid dynamic loading conditions, as in many sports situations, than maximum Tensile stress obtained during static test conditions.

Biomechanics of musculoskeletal injury
William C. Whiting,Ronald F. Zernicke +1 more
- 01 Jan 1998
TL;DR: In the first book of its kind, noted biomechanists William Whiting and Ronald Zernicke explore the mechanical bases of musculoskeletal injury to better understand causal mechanisms, the effect of injury on musculOSkeletal tissues, and how current knowledge of biomechanics can contribute to injury prevention.

Changes in limb dynamics during the practice of rapid arm movements
TL;DR: Dynamical analyses of a human multisegmental movement during the practice of a task involving the upper extremity showed changes in moment-time and EMG profiles were consistent with Bernstein's hypothesis relating practice effects and intralimb coordination.

High-impact exercise and growing bone: relation between high strain rates and enhanced bone formation
Stefan Judex,Ronald F. Zernicke +1 more
TL;DR: Comparing the mechanical milieus produced by running and drop jumps revealed that jumping significantly elevated only peak strain rates, which further emphasized the sensitivity of immature bone to high strain rates.

Intrinsic Muscle Properties Facilitate Locomotor Control—A Computer Simulation Study
TL;DR: Based on the results of the simulations, skeletal muscle force-length-velocity properties, although interactively complex, contribute substantially to the dynamic stability of the musculoskeletal system.
