An electromyographic study on the effects of slope and distance constraints on forearm muscle activity during golf putting (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Finnie, K. P., Valentin, S., Gu, Y., Baker, J. S., & Ugbolue, U. C. (2018, July). An electromyographic study on the effects of slope and distance constraints on forearm muscle activity during golf putting. Paper presented at 8th World Conference of Biomec

Introduction Golf mechanics incorporates specific coordinated movements of the body together with controlled low-velocity movements with precision to dictate performance [1]. Golf putting involves mainly upper body limb movement that has been likene...

Age does not influence erector spinae muscle activity during treadmill walking and running in healthy adults (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Valentin, S., & Licka, T. (2018, July). Age does not influence erector spinae muscle activity during treadmill walking and running in healthy adults. Paper presented at 8th World Conference of Biomechanics (WCB 2018), Dublin, Ireland

Introduction Changes in motor control patterns [1] and muscle synergies [2] are known to occur with ageing. Although the activation of trunk musculature during walking and running has been evaluated previously [3], the effect of ageing on muscle act...
