Behavior Lower-Limb Biomechanical Characteristics Associated with Unplanned Gait Termination Under Different Walking Speeds Huiyu Zhou1,2, Xuanzhen Cen1, Yang Song3, Ukadike C. Ugbolue2, Yaodong Gu1 1Faculty of Sports Science, Ningbo University, 2School of Health and Life Sciences, University of the West of Scotland, 3Faculty of Engineering, University of Szeged This study compared the biomechanical characteristics of the lower extremity during unplanned gait termination under different walking speeds. The lower-limb kinematic and kinetic data from fifteen subjects with normal and fast walking speeds were collected using a motion analysis system and plantar pressure platform. Behavior Comparative Analysis of Lower Limb Kinematics between the Initial and Terminal Phase of 5km Treadmill Running Wenjing Quan1, Meizi Wang2, Gongju Liu2, Gusztáv Fekete3, Julien S. Baker4, Feng Ren1, Yaodong Gu1 1Faculty of Sports Science, Ningbo University, 2Faculty of Engineering, University of Pannonia Veszeprem, 3Savaria Institute of Technology, Eötvös Loránd University, 4Department of Sport, and Physical Education, Hong Kong Baptist University This study investigated the biomechanical characteristics of the lower extremity kinematic variables between the initial and terminal phase of 5 km treadmill running. The lower-limb kinematic data of 10 runners were collected using a three-dimensional motion capture system on a treadmill at the initial phase (0.5 km) and the terminal phase (5 km), respectively.
