A biomechanical analysis of the long-jump technique of elite female amputee athletes

Article Abstract:

A study aims to investigate whether female lower-limb amputees conform to the established long-jump model and to compare the kinematics of the approach and take-off phases for elite female transfemoral and transtibial amputee long jumpers. Results show that although the athletes conform to the long-jump model, they exhibit no relationship between take-off speed and distance jumped, which might be attributable to their excessive lowering of their center-of-mass height at touch-down onto the take-off board.

Menstrual disturbances in athletes: a focus on luteal phase defects

Article Abstract:

Results indicate that luteal phase defects may predispose women athletes to amenorrhea. The clinical consequences of luteal phase defects in women athletes include infertility, spontaneous abortion and possible bone damage.
