Movement of a racehorse simulator differs to that of a real horse, but the effects of these differences on jockey technique have not been evaluated. We quantified and compared the kinematics and kinetics of jockeys during gallop riding on a simulator and real horses. Inertial measurement units were attached mid-shaft to the long bones of six jockeys and the sacrum of the horse or simulator. Instrumented...
Single-leg hopping in-place can be typically modeled using a spring-mass model. Within this model, the leg acts as a spring whose stiffness can be regulated to hop at different heights and frequencies. The control of vertical stiffness has been shown to be important for running and jumping performance, as well as injury prevention. It is known that adults increase vertical stiffness to hop at frequencies...
