  • Title: Fatigue effects on the viscoelastic behavior of men and women in a landing task: a Mass-Spring-Damper modeling approach.
    Author: Boozari S, Sanjari MA, Amiri A, Ebrahimi Takamjani I.
    Journal: Comput Methods Biomech Biomed Engin; 2020 Aug; 23(10):564-570. PubMed ID: 32551896.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to compare the fatigue effect on the viscoelastic behavior of the musculoskeletal system between the two sexes in a landing task. Stiffness and shock absorption capacity were studied from ground reaction force data using a mass-spring-damper model. A parametric simulation was also performed to demonstrate the effect of different values of model parameters on the vertical ground reaction force. Following fatigue, the shock absorption capacity reduced in men. According to the parametric simulation, this reduction can result in lower rate of force development which may make men less susceptible to impact injuries than women.
