    Abstract Abstract Running pacing has become a focus of interest over recent years due to its relationship with performance, however, it is still unknown the consistency of each race in different editions. The aim of this study is to analyze the consistency of pacing profile in three consecutive editions of three marathon races. A database of 282,808 runners, compiled from three different races (Chicago, London, and Tokyo Marathon) and three editions (2017, 2018, and 2019) was analyzed. Participants were categorized according to their time performance in the marathon, every 30 min from 2:30 h to sub-6 h. The relative speed of each section for each runner was calculated as a percentage of the average speed for the entire race. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) of relative speed at the different pacing section, taking into account the runner time categories, was excellent over the three marathon editions (ICC > 0.93). The artificial intelligence model showed an accuracy of 86.8% to classify the runners' data in three marathons, suggesting a consistency between editions with identifiable differences between races. In conclusion, although some differences have been observed between editions in certain sections and marathon runner categories, excellent consistency of the pacing profile was observed. The study of pacing profile in a specific marathon can, therefore, be helpful for runners, coaches and marathon organizers for planning the race and improving its organization.

    Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze how isokinetic knee and hip peak torques and roundhouse kick velocities are related to expertise level (elite vs. sub-elite) in taekwondo athletes. Seven elite and seven sub-elite athletes were tested for kick-specific variables (KSV, composed of kinematic variables and power of impact) and for concentric isokinetic peak torque (PT) at 60°/s and 240°/s. First, KSVs and PTs were compared between groups, then PTs were correlated with KSVs. Parametric variables with larger effect sizes (Cohen's d) were entered in a stepwise linear discriminant analysis (LDA), generating an equation to estimate competitive level. Between-group differences were found in hip flexors (p = 0.04, d = 0.92) and extensors (p = 0.04, d = 0.96) with PT at 240°/s. Hip flexion PT at 60°/s and 240°/s correlated negatively with kick time (R = -0.46, p = 0.0499 and R = -0.62, p = 0.01 respectively). Hip flexion torque at 60°/s correlated positively (R = 0.52, p = 0.03) with peak linear velocity of the foot (LVF) and power of impact (R = 0.51, p = 0.03). Peak torque of hip extension at 60°/s and hip abduction at 240°/s also correlated with LVF (R = 0.56, p = 0.02 and R = 0.46, p = 0.0499). Hip extension at 60°/s correlated positively with peak linear velocity of the knee (R = 0.48, p = 0.04). The LDA showed an accuracy of 85.7% (p = 0.003) in predicting expertise level based on hip flexion and extension torques at 240°/s and on knee extension velocity during the kick. The study demonstrates that hip muscle strength is probably the dominant muscular factor for determining kick performance. Knee angular velocity combined with hip torques is the best discriminator for competitive level in taekwondo athletes.

    Abstract The objective of this study is to present a new coupling method in order to measure the electrical properties of titanium alloy pedicle screws used in spinal surgery and to compare it with other common methods of measurement. An experimental setup was devised to test the electrical resistance of two specimens of pedicle screws using four methods for coupling the sensing leads, including the use of multimeter probes, alligator clips, wrapped wires and encapsulation with thermo-retractable sleeves. The electrical resistance of the pedicle screw under testing was measured at a current of 10 mA for each coupling method, and the results compared. Our findings show that although widely used in electrical analysis, the alligator clips do not perform as well as the other methods, such as simple wrapping of wires around the screw or the direct application of multimeter probes. The use of thermo-retractable sleeves provides the lowest resistance and inter-quartile range and is closer to the tabled values for the screw’s titanium alloy. Additionally, only this method allows the measurement of identical resistivity values between different screw models manufactured with the same titanium alloy. We then concluded that the use of wrapped wires encapsulated with thermo-retractable sleeves allow more accurate measurements of the pedicle screw’s electrical properties.

    Abstract With the aim of comparing kinematic and neuromuscular parameters of Bandal Chagui kicks between 7 elite and 7 subelite taekwondo athletes, nine Bandal Chaguis were performed at maximal effort in a selective reaction time design, simulating the frequency of kicks observed in taekwondo competitions. Linear and angular leg velocities were recorded through 3D motion capture system. Ground reaction forces (GRF) were evaluated by a force platform, and surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals were evaluated in the vastus lateralis, biceps femoris, rectus femoris, tensor fasciae lata, adductor magnus, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gastrocnemius lateralis muscles of the kicking leg. sEMG data were processed to obtain the cocontraction indices (CI) of antagonist vs. overall (agonist and antagonist) muscle activity. CI was measured for the hip and knee, in flexion and extension, and for hip abduction. Premotor, reaction (kinetic and kinematic), and kicking times were evaluated. Timing parameters, except kinetic reaction time, were faster in elite athletes. Furthermore, CI and angular velocity during knee extension, foot and knee linear velocity, and horizontal GRF were significantly higher in elite than in subelite athletes. In conclusion, selected biomechanical parameters of Bandal Chagui appear to be useful in controlling the training status of the kick and in orienting the training goal of black belt competitors.

    Abstract Although significant progress has been made in the development of total hip replacement, behaviour of the femoral component of an endoprosthesis in relation to the type of its fixation in the bone is still not fully understood. In this paper, behaviour of the femoral bone and the stem prosthesis is studied taking into account different types of prosthesis fixation in the medullary canal of the femur under the action of functional loads. For an analysis, a three-dimensional model of a femur has been developed based on the results of a computed tomography. The stress-strain state governing behaviour of the femoral bone and the stem prosthesis has been estimated with the use of the finite element method (FEM). The FEM analysis has shown that for the diaphyseal fixation, the area of contact between the surface of the endoprosthesis and the bone is insufficient and leads to large stresses in the implant accompanied by stress concentration in the distal femur. An increase in the area of contact between the implant and the bone raises the stiffness of the "bone-implant" system, which, in turn, reduces stresses in the implant. The applied metaphyseal-type fixation yielded an improvement of results regarding behaviour of the femoral bone and the stem prosthesis. Namely, the study yielded the distribution of stress in the bone similar to the physiological stress state.
