time–motion analysis for locomotion is questionable, as movement patterns are simplified into categories where actual play involves the dynamic combination of several tasks, skills, and tactics. 4 To quantify locomotion workloads more accurately, researchers have utilized global positioning systems

mode of locomotion influences the age-related changes in physical performance. It is interesting that these studies revealed that the decline in cycling was less pronounced than in swimming or running. 9 – 11 Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the smaller decline in cycling performance

responses. The large differences in PP and MP between WAnT and CJ30 6 , 7 seem to be related to different types of locomotion with the use of elastic energy during the stretch shortening cycle (SSC) in the CJ30 jumping exercise. During the SSC, tendons and titin filaments can store and release elastic

Humans in general move with variable speeds; despite this, the literature is extensive in studies of locomotion at constant and controlled speed. The experimental designs at constant speed on a treadmill have been more applied mainly because they are easily replicable in a controlled environment

It is well established that maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max), the energy cost of locomotion (EC), and aerobic endurance (AE) are crucial factors in middle- and long-distance performance. 1 Together, these factors explained 72% of the performance variability among 36 runners who participated in the

transition from FS to combat swimming (CS) and the implications on the previously mentioned factors are still unknown. Special forces operators execute CS as a form of aquatic locomotion while diving below or swimming at the water’s surface (sCS [surface CS]). Performance of this task is reported as highly
