*Values derived from Morin-McMahon sinusoidal spring-mass kinetics. For definitive laboratory force-plate verification, schedule an on-site assessment at our Oslo testing suite.
Discover latest insights on mechanical efficiency, metabolic conditioning thresholds, and ergonomic load distribution.
An investigative trial analyzing how targeted cadence adjustments from 164 spm to 178 spm reduce tibial acceleration spikes without elevating oxygen consumption rates.
Quantifying the correlation between mechanical power output degradation and motor unit synchronization during extended aerobic steady-state intervals.
Key information about our laboratory methodologies, testing suites, and academic research access.
Our biomechanics suite integrates multi-camera optoelectronic tracking synchronized with dual piezoelectric ground reaction force plates at 240 Hz. This enables millimeter-level joint center estimation and exact ground reaction force vector modeling.
Yes. Vigorel is dedicated to open sports science. Anonymized kinetic time-series data from published monographs are available for non-commercial academic validation upon written request to our editorial desk.
The calculation algorithm utilizes the established Morin-McMahon sinusoidal spring-mass formulation, incorporating flight duration, contact phase timing, and body mass inertia to project effective linear musculoskeletal stiffness.
