Exploring Neuromuscular and Biomechanical Factors Associated with Improvements in Running Economy Following Plyometric Training in Male Master Endurance Runners

Purpose: While running economy can be improved following plyometric training, the factors associated with running economy improvements remain unclear, particularly in master endurance runners. This study aimed to identify neuromuscular and biomechanical factors associated with ru...

Flexible reconfiguration of variability structures between multiple solution manifolds in skilled soccer athletes' throw-ins

Skilled performers can produce highly consistent outcomes despite substantial variability within the motor control system. Previous studies have demonstrated that such consistency is achieved by structuring variability in execution variables so that it lies within the solution ma...
