Comparing the deadlift with the squat in a group of powerlifters, Hales et al. (2009) found that there was a difference in peak hip
joint angles between the squat and deadlift.
Comparing the deadlift with the squat in a group of powerlifters, Hales et al. (2009) found that there was a difference in peak knee
joint angles between the squat and deadlift.
Comparing skilled and unskilled adolescent powerlifters, Brown and Abani (1985) found that there was a difference in peak knee
joint angles between groups.
On completion of the 6 - week program, the movement of the hips and knees in relation to each other improved for both groups of runners, showing increases in
joint angles between the shin, foot and thigh.
Comparing each leg with the other, Escamilla et al. (2000) found that there were no differences in peak
joint angle between legs during either sumo or conventional deadlift styles.
Not exact matches
In van de Panne's model, for example, once the path of the swinging foot is specified by the controller, the
angles between various
joints in the leg and hip are automatically calculated.
He and his team looked through the scientific literature for data on normal walking, and found a complete dataset that represented one person's gait, including the
angle of their
joints, the weight of each leg segment, and the ground reaction force — the force
between the ground and the foot — during a single step, or gait cycle.
They're called hip flexors because they create flexion in the hip, which is the technical term for a bending movement around a
joint in a limb (such as the knee or elbow) that decreases the
angle between the bones of the limb at the
joint.
The dumbbell power snatch differs from the barbell power snatch insofar as there is substantial asymmetry
between sides, both in respect of peak force and
joint angle movements.
Exploring the effects of training variables, Kellis et al. (2005) found that
joint angles differed
between relative loads but did not identify how the individual hip, knee and ankle
joints differed; however, List et al. (2013) found that increasing load caused peak ankle
angle to become more acute, from no load to 25 % of bodyweight, to 50 % of bodyweight.
Exploring the effects of training variables, Kellis et al. (2005) found that
joint angles differed
between relative loads but did not identify how the individual hip, knee and ankle
joints differed; however, McKean et al. (2010) reported that peak hip
angle was more acute with load compared to no load, while both List et al. (2013) and Gomes et al. (2015) reported that peak hip
angle became less acute with heavier relative loads.
They're called hip flexors because they create flexion in the hip, which is the technical term for a bending movement around a
joint in a limb that decreases the
angle between the bones of the limb at the
joint (such as the knee or elbow).
The basic finding: 14 out 15 triathletes showed no difference in muscle recruitment
between the two runs, but five of them did show kinematic differences (their
joints were at different
angles and moving differently).
This probably causes differences in
joint angle - specific gains in strength
between the two external load types.
As explained above, COD maneuvers most commonly involve force production when the hip extensors and knee extensors are at moderate muscle lengths (although the exact
joint angles can vary widely
between individuals and tasks).
The reason for the difference
between the changes in
joint angle - specific strength and the changes in
joint angle - specific neural drive is that both peripheral and central factors are operating, and the impact of
joint angle - specific neural drive is greater after training at short muscle lengths, while the impact of peripheral factors (like regional muscle size and / or muscle fascicle length) are greater after training at long muscle lengths.
And this explains why the patterns of
joint angle - specific strength gains differ
between isometric training with either long or short muscle lengths: they are caused by different adaptations.
As you can see, even though the exercise is the same, the externally - applied torque (turning force) differs with
joint angle,
between the external load types.
When different studies use the same
joint angle for measurement, these can be compared to one another so long as differences
between the populations tested are acknowledged.
Such differences in the hip extension moment
between lift variations may be the result of differing trunk inclination or differences in other
joint angles, as noted above in respect of the back squat (Hay et al. 1983; Frost et al. 2013).
They noted that differences recorded in
joint angles were generally
between 2 — 3 degrees, which may have been measurement error.
The peak moment arm length of the latissimus dorsi muscle overall ranges
between -21.1 to -45.0 mm depending on what region of the muscle is being measured and the
joint angle.
Comparing the effects of different training variables, Swinton et al. (2011a) found that there was no difference in peak knee
joint angles when using relative loads ranging
between 10 — 80 % of 1RM with the straight bar and hexagonal bar deadlifts.
There has been renewed interest in the subject of «abnormal» bone lengths,
joints,
angles between limbs, and related phenotypic variations from what I have called «the ancestral type.»
