COMPARATIVE BIOMECHANICS ANALYSIS OF HURDLE CLEARANCE TECHNIQUES

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate Yin Jing’s hurdle clearance techniques. Through a follow-up study on his training, some experiments were performed using 3D kinematics. The best one of each year’s performances from 2007 to 2009 was chosen for comparative analysis in this paper. It was found that his techniques improved significantly and became more stable, but the supporting time needs to be reduced.
