title = "Leg stiffness from landing methods of hopping",
abstract = "During hopping and jumping, our legs exhibit characteristics similar to those of a spring. When humans hop in place or run forward, they adjust leg stiffness to accommodate changes in stride frequency or surface stiffness. The spring-mass-model has been often used to describe this type of movements, i.e. hopping, which consists of a body mass supported by a spring. Leg stiffness, therefore, can be defined as the ratio of ground reaction force (GRF) to center of mass (COM).These types of stiffness have been considered as critical factors in terms of balance maintenance, shock absorption mechanism, etc. The purpose of the present study was to determine how humans adjust leg stiffness over the difference between soft landing and stiff landing. Stiffness of soft landing was compared with that of stiff landing.",
