- Materials Science, Medicine
- Journal of sports sciences
- 1 January 2001
The aim of the study was to assess the accuracy of a method of calculating the optimum release angle in the shot put. Using the proposed method, the optimum release angle that produces the greatest… Expand
Energy loss in the pole vault take‐off and the advantage of the flexible pole
- N. Linthorne
- Engineering
- 1 November 2000
A model of pole vaulting with a flexible pole was developed with the aim of predicting the optimum take-off technique and pole characteristics for a typical world-class pole vaulter. The key features… Expand
The Effect of Wind on 100-m Sprint Times
- N. Linthorne
- Engineering
- 1 May 1994
The effect of wind on the race times of international standard 100-m sprinters was determined using statistical information from official competitions. A time adjustment curve derived from… Expand
Changes in long jump take-off technique with increasingrun-up speed
- L. Bridgett, N. Linthorne
- Mathematics, Medicine
- Journal of sports sciences
- 1 August 2006
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the influence of run-up speed on take-off technique in the long jump. Seventy-one jumps by an elite male long jumper were recorded in the sagittal… Expand
Effect of the coefficient of friction of a running surface on sprint time in a sled-towing exercise
- N. Linthorne, J. E. Cooper
- Mathematics, Medicine
- Sports biomechanics
- 23 May 2013
This study investigated the effect of the coefficient of friction of a running surface on an athlete's sprint time in a sled-towing exercise. The coefficients of friction of four common sports… Expand
Optimum take-off angle in the long jump
- N. Linthorne, Maurice S. Guzman, L. Bridgett
- Mathematics, Medicine
- Journal of sports sciences
- 1 July 2005
In this study, we found that the optimum take-off angle for a long jumper may be predicted by combining the equation for the range of a projectile in free flight with the measured relations between… Expand
Mathematical model of the takeoff phase in the pole vault
- N. Linthorne
- Engineering
- 1 November 1994
A mathematical model is presented of the takeoff phase in the pole vault for an athlete vaulting with a rigid pole. An expression is derived that gives the maximum height that the vaulter may grip on… Expand
