Description
BODY POSTURE • Quantitative evaluation and description of body posture;
• Basic clinical examination tests (forward bend, Thomas test, lunge, …);
• Video analysis using mobile applications and comparison of results obtained
with visual inspection without gadgets; • Long-period analysis of body posture
using mobile wearable devices CYCLIC MOVEMENTS • Quantitative evaluation and
description of cyclical movements (walking, running, cycling); • Video analysis
of selected cyclic movements using mobile applications; • Using advanced
measurement techniques to evaluate and analyze selected cyclical movements.
POWER – JUMPS, HOPS AND THROWS • Evaluation on force plates; • Analysis of load
dynamics • Stability index during landing on a force plate and comparison with
simple video analysis; • Inter(in)dependence of kinematic and dynamic
parameters. STRENGTH-VELOCITY CONTINUUM • Force:velocity relationship o Single-
and multi-joint movements; o Predicting maximal isometric force and maximal
theoretical speed. • Asymmetries; • Acute effects; • Scaling factor of force /
torque increment; • The effect of verbal encouragement. PRECISION • Cognitive
