    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.

    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.
