Gait analysis techniques to understand the effect of a hip strength improving program on lower-limb amputees
… amputees have a direct correlation to the muscle strength of the residual limb. It was theorized in this study that a hip strength training program would improve amputees’ gait performance. An additional aim of the study was to determine if the training program was sufficient to enable lower-limb …

Isometric hip and groin strength in elite football players: preliminary investigations into the validity and reliability of testing, comparison to a normal population and in-season strength changes.
Hip and groin injuries account for 2-5% of all sporting injuries worldwide. Within elite football they account for 12-16% of all injuries in a season, making them the second most prevalent injury for the sport. Isometric measurement of hip and groin strength is common practice in football and is …

Skeletal muscle mass, function, and metabolic regulation between menopause stages in moderately active mid-life females
… of menopause stage on skeletal muscle mass, strength and function and to evaluate the response to resistance exercise training between pre-, peri and post-menopausal mid-life females. Seventy one moderately active pre-, peri, and post-menopausal females were characterised cross-sectionally …

The assessment of movement demands and neuromuscular fatigue in female softball players
… throw comes from the lower body, with the hip musculature playing an essential role in stabilisation and kinetic energy transmission. Understanding the development of neuromuscular fatigue, particularly in the hip musculature of softball athletes, will allow coaches and sport scientists to …

Do the gluteal muscles influence dynamic knee valgus when single-leg landing?
… are believed to have a role in controlling hip motion that is associated with dynamic knee valgus. Landing onto one leg is a common scenario of ACL injury mechanism and would appear to require considerable Gluteal muscle activity to control the forces if the relationship were true. Aim: the …

Evaluation of variables affecting lower extremity alignment in the aetiology of patellofemoral pain syndrome
… was to investigate variables at the ankle and hip joint and within the central nervous system affecting lower extremity alignment, in a search for other possible sources in the aetiology of PFPS. The aims of this doctoral project were therefore threefold. The first aim was to gain a better …

The influence of musculoskeletal variables on throwing performance in amateur and elite South African cricketers
… and have a markedly reduced shoulder rotational strength and hip strength compared to baseball players, amongst other factors. Biomechanically, cricketers tend to throw with a more side arm position with less shoulder external rotation which has been found to be an inferior position compared to …
