Influence of different approaches for calculating the athlete's mechanical energy on energetic parameters in the pole vault

Biomechanical energetic analysis of technique during learning the longswing on the high bar

“…Therefore, a biomechanical understanding of changes in techni-30 que during learning can provide objective, quantitative information which is useful for assessing and enhancing the process of skill learning. Previous research has investigated the mechanical energy exchanges during gross motor skills such as 35 the pole-vault (Schade, Arampatzis, & Brüggemann, 2000), sprint running (Bezodis, Kerwin, & Salo, 2008) and gymnastics high bar skills (Arampatzis & Brüggemann, 1999, 2001Irwin & Kerwin, 2007;Okamoto, Sakurai, Ikegami, & Yabe, 1987). 40 However, changes in mechanical efficiency during learning have more often been examined for laboratory based tasks such as crawling (Sparrow & Irizarry-Lopez, 1987) and reaching movements (Schneider, Zernicke, Schmidt, & Hart, 1989), for 45 which efficiency improves with practice.…”

Influence of pole plant time on the performance of a special jump and plant exercise in the pole vault

“…This is especially so in the pole vault, where the pole shows large deformations and has a high potential to store and return energy throughout the vault and so the interaction between vaulter and vaulting pole strongly influences performance (Dillmann and Nelson, 1968;Lundberg, 1995, 1997;Schade et al, 2000Schade et al, 2006).…”

Effect of the pole–human body interaction on pole vaulting performance

“…1). The athlete's energy during the pole vault has been studied by various researchers (Dillmann and Nelson, 1968;Hay, 1971;Schade et al, 2000). Hubbard (1980) and Lundberg (1995, 1997) reported that the exchange of energy between the athlete and the pole is very important for jumping performance.…”
