Study Notes
- Quadriceps are active for longer during running than walking.
- Quadriceps function from the last 20% of swing phase until the end of absorption phase during running.
- Quadriceps provide more negative work than positive work during running.
- Rectus femoris controls body's center of mass and knee flexion during running.
- Hamstrings work as hip extensor during propulsion phase and assist quadriceps in knee stabilization during absorption phase.
- Hamstrings co-contract with quadriceps as the center of mass moves forward.
- Quadriceps peaks twice during running gait.
- First activity burst occurs eccentrically at the start of the absorption phase.
- Second activity burst begins at the end of propulsion after toe-off.
- Quadriceps is most active during the first half of stance.
