A recent study conducted by researchers at Pompeu Fabra University in Spain examined the inter-limb asymmetry in the kinematic parameters of the approach run in elite-level female Class T63/T64 long jumpers with prosthetics. The study found that step frequency and average step velocity were significantly larger in the intact lower limb, while step length, step frequency, and average step velocity showed significant asymmetry in some jumpers. However, the asymmetry in step frequency was compensated for by modifications in step length, resulting in no asymmetry in average step velocity. The researchers concluded that the observed asymmetry did not negatively impact long jump performance. [Extracted from the article] |
