PublicationAccelerometer-based physical fatigue assessment in 400 meter running event( 2021-05-03)
;Atiya S.O. ; ; ; ;Saidatul A. ;Hamzah S.Monitoring physical fatigue and capacity is important in high-performance environments to optimize the training stimulus and minimize unplanned physical fatigue. For that purpose, accelerometer sensors have emerged as a tool with the potential to measure and reflect changes in runner's acceleration. An accelerometer was used to measure the acceleration patterns which provided an analogue signal that could analyzed further by using different feature extractions. This research was aimed to estimate the location of physical fatigue occurrence in 400 m running. Basically, the experiments were conducted in outdoor track field, 6 subjects were involved, with age ranging between 19-24 years. In this study, two features have been used which are root mean square (RMS) and player load (PL) to indicate fatigue. The obtained results have shown that there were declines in the player load values in the last 150 m of running for most of the subjects which indicate occurrence of physical fatigue. On the other hand, some subjects have tried to save their energy in the 2nd and 3rd 100 m to speed up again in the last 100 m but there were obvious decrements in their player load in 400 m compared to the 1 100 m of running. -
PublicationThe Influence of Saracen Archery Grasping Techniques and Forearm Muscles Activation on Shooting Performance in Traditional Archery: A Pilot Study( 2021-11-25)
;Kamarudin N.F. ; ; ;Kasim M.F. ; ;Lim C.C.The purpose of this study is to understand the influence of four grasping techniques recommended by Saracen Archery and associated forearm muscles activation on traditional archer’s shooting performance. Each archer has shot 6 arrows in each grasping technique to the target, EMG activities of muscle Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (MFDS) and muscle Extensor Digitorum (MED) were collected in bow arm during aiming phase. The shooting performance was indicated by the distance from arrow hitting point on the target to the bull’s eye. The results revealed that each subject has specific grasping technique to obtain the best shooting performance. The grasping technique that generated the best performance is not as recommended by Saracen Archery. All subjects indicated that the best shooting performance was obtained when MED activated more than MFDS. -
PublicationChanges on EEG Power Spectrum with Carbohydrate Mouth Rinsing( 2023-01-01)
;Kamaruddin H.K. ;Bakar A.H.A. ;Zainuddin N.F. ;Carbohydrate (CHO) mouth rinse has been shown to activated brain regions via oral receptors that related to rewards and motor control that can enhance exercise performance. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of CHO mouth rinsing on electroencephalography (EEG) power spectrum responses. Ten recreational athletes performed a mouth rinsing for 10 s with CHO or placebo (PLB) solution on seated position, eyes closed and in air conditioning room. The EEG was measured during the initial mouth rinsing with 14 electrodes attached on the participant’s scalp. The EEG activity included alpha, beta, delta, and theta power increased following mouth rinsing (CHO and PLB). However, a significant alpha power was observed with CHO when compared to PLB mouth rinsing on frontal and temporal regions (p = 0.003). No significant differences within beta, delta, and theta power for both solution comparisons, respectively (p > 0.05). The results of this study demonstrate that brain activity may be related to the presence of CHO mouth rinsing. The changes in cortical responses particularly in alpha power may influence the increased of arousal and motivation level. -
PublicationInfluence of Carrying Unstable Load on Thoracic Kinematics While Walking on a Curved Path( 2021-11-25)
;Ngoc D.K. ; ; ; ;Basarrudin K.S. ; ;Halim I. ;Usman J.Lim C.C.This study investigated the effect of carrying unstable load on thoracic kinematics while walking on a curved path. Three-dimensional spinal kinematics were defined as the rotations between thoracic and the Virtual laboratory coordinate system (Tho/ Virtual lab) which consisted of lateral bending (LB), flexion/extension (FE) and axial rotation (AR) in the frontal plane, sagittal plane and transverse plane, respectively. Eight healthy young adults (4 males and 4 females) performed loads carrying and walking on one meter radius curved path. Spinal kinematics was determined at the left leg heel strike and just before the right toe off during the curved path walking. As a result, a significant main effect of load intensity was found only on FE of (Tho/Virtual lab) at both left leg heel strike and right leg toe off. The study concluded that an increase in the load intensity of unstable load from 10% of body weight likely to generate more thorax extension. -

; ; ; ;Mohd Fairuz M. FadzilThis paper presents the stability of the performer of Seni Silat Cekak Malaysia (SSCM) when performing the combat technique of SSCM buah jatuh, especially the Buah Kilas Hadapan (BKH). Comparisons are made when SSCM practitioners perform the movement with and without a sparring partner. The analysis of the study refers to the Center of Gravity (COG-Centre of Gravity) on the sole of the left foot that supports the SSCM performer's body when performing the movement of BKH. This study was conducted using Motion Capture System. The Oqus (camera) is placed around the platform which is used to record the movement of the human body through markers attached to the body. The data obtained is stored and processed through Qualisys Track Manager (QTM) and Visual 3D software. Data on the movement of BKH was recorded on two SSCM respondents of different genders. The Center of Gravity Point on the left foot of the SSCM practitioner was compared and analyzed. Axis changes on the left foot of SSCM respondents are mainly focused on the medial and lateral axis (left and right) when performing the BKH. The results of this study show a minimal coordinate change on the axis (0.02m to 0.06m) from the medial and lateral angles of the Center of Gravity on the left leg of the SSCM respondents proving that the BKH is stable.4 39 -
PublicationEffect of Strength and Conditioning Trainings on Lower Limb Muscles Activity of High-Jumping Athletes( 2021-01-01)
;Hamiza Mohamad Radzi ; ; ; ; ;Nair S.K.In recent years, there has been a proliferation of technology and sport science utilized within an athlete’s physical activity and exercise. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of two strength and conditioning exercises, namely, a customized free-weight exercise and plate-loaded machine exercise, on the lower limb muscle activities of the amateur high jumpers. Six amateur high jumpers were divided into two groups, a customized free-weight group and plate-loaded machine group (control group) and performed exercises as instructed by the coach. The EMG signal of the Rectus Femoris and Bicep Femoris muscles were recorded during the exercises. Metronome was used to control the speed of the exercise and it was standardized for all subjects. The harmstring’s cable pull exercise (customized free-weight) triggered Bicep Femoris more compared to the leg curl exercise (plate-loaded exercise). Similarly, in the case of Rectus Femoris muscle, the front squat exercise (customized free-weight exercise) triggered higher muscular activities compared to the leg extension exercise (plate-loaded exercise). In conclusion, the customized free-weight exercise has indicated higher muscle activities compared to the plate-loaded exercise.1 -
PublicationStatistical analysis in clinical gait analysis using Kinovea between normal and simulated abnormal gaits(AIP Publishing, 2023)
;Suhana Abdul Rahim ; ; ;Mohamad Azlan Mohamed Shapie ;Kinematic analysis of human gait is an effective strategy to detect and assess an individual's gait to diagnose and develop and guide follow-on rehabilitation protocols. So, an accurate, objective gait analysis system has potential to facilitate rehabilitation process. System using smartphone-Kinovea represent an emerging technology for physical activity assessment and that may be relevant for gait analysis. The objective of this study was to determine gait displacement, speed and joint angle by using smartphone-Kinovea software system - to compare the normal gait with four distinct simulated gait abnormalities. Also, to assess validity of the proposed system by compared with QTM as gold standard. 30 participants completed an experiment in which they completed several gait trails on single day. Gait types were analyzed using statistical analysis (two-way MANOVA). As for validation assessment was analyzed using paired t-test by comparing proposed system with QTM. Results shows that joint angles for abnormal gaits are higher mean (Standard Deviation) compared to normal gait during HS and TO. While, normal gait exhibits higher mean (Standard Deviation) for d and s during both IDS and TDS phases compared to other four abnormal gaits in both genders. Also, there are significant different (p<0.05) of gait for all gait comparisons for all parameters, except hip angle of normal-HP with p=0.495. Moreover, there is some gait was similar with other gait due to they shared underlying kinematic aspects such as BA and DP. The validation of the system gives moderate result. These support that the smartphone-Kinovea system have potential in detecting and identifying abnormal gaits, and for future implementation in diagnosis and rehabilitation.3 15 -
PublicationSplining raw kinematic data of standing-bending-lifting movement( 2024-01-05)
; ;Isa M.S.M. ;Spline functions and digital filtering are two numerical methods normally used by the researchers in the field of biomechanics to perform data smoothing and time differentiation. The objective of this study is to perform data smoothing on the raw kinematic data of a subject performing standing-bending-lifting activity using spline function, and to calculate time differentiation from the kinematic data. Raw data on standing-bending-lifting movement was recorded in Biomechanics Lab, UniMAP. Next, quintic spline function was used to smooth the data and calculate the angular velocity and angular acceleration at L5, L3, L1, MAI and T2. When calculated for one trial, the error estimation between smooth and raw data at L5, L3, L1, MAI, and T2 are 0.008°, 0.003°, 0.003°, 0.004°, and 0.008°, respectively. When calculating for five trials, the average error estimation between smooth and raw data at L5, L3, L1, MAI, and T2 are 0.007°, 0.009°, 0.011°, 0.012°, and 0.012°, respectively. The result shows that the quintic spline is able to produce satisfactory output in data smoothing.1 39 -
PublicationVariation of Stress Intensity Factor and Strain Energy Release Rate in Human Cortical Bone Using Finite Element Analysis( 2021-01-01)
; ; ; ;Finite element analysis is an alternative way to study human fracture behaviour as the technology is a leading innovation in biomechanics field. The aim of this study is to analyse the strain intensity factor and strain energyrelease rate when three-point bending test and tensile test were applied on a two-dimensional cortical bone model developed and tested using finite element software, Ansys. K values gained from Data Extrapolation Method (DEM) through Ansys for three-point bending test were compared with CINT method, Hiroshi Tada’s and Allan F. Bower’s theoretical expression while K values from DEM were only been compared with CINT method for tensile test. Meanwhile, J-integral values were obtained through CINT method using Ansys and analysed with different crack-to-width ratios and loads. As a result, stress intensity factor increased as crack-to-width ratio increased and strain energy release rate also increased as crack-to-width ratio and loads increased. It can be concluded that finite element analysis can be used to study the fracture behaviour of human cortical bone.1 38 -
PublicationEffect of muscle on cortical bone layer by finite element modeling( 2021-05-03)
; ;Jaapar N.F.N. ;Muscle is one of the important parts of the body as it made up from a bundle of fibrous tissue. The effects of fracture mechanisms of the bone are been studied related with the existing of muscle layer. In order to establish cortical bone with muscle layer, the structure of the base must be relevant and efficient. Therefore, finite element modeling method is an alternative way to study the effect of human fracture mechanisms with and without muscle layer. The aim of this study is to develop two dimensional (2D) model of human cortical bone and muscle layer in linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and elastic plastic fracture mechanics (EPFM) by using ANSYS APDL applied on three-point bending test. Other than that, Stress Intensity Factor (K) and Strain Energy Release Rate (J-Integral) were analyzed on both 2D models which are cortical bone layer and cortical bone with muscle layer. Two methods were used to evaluate the values of K which are Displacement Extrapolation Method (DEM) and Constrained Integration (CINT) method. The experimental values then been compared with two theoretical expressions for validation purposes. By referring to the values of error for K and J-Integral values in both methods, it is proved that by using CINT method, the model produced smaller error and higher efficiency. By comparing the two models, cortical bone with muscle layer resulted lower K and J-Integral values. It can be concluded that layer of muscle on the cortical bone gives an impact on the crack tip that allow the growth of the crack.29 1
