Hello All,
I am a mechanical engineering student from Rice University in Houston, TX,
with an extensive interest in sports biomechanics, particularly as applied
to horizontal jumping in track & field.
I have been doing studies of biomechanics in the triple jump since fall of
1996, at which time I performed an analysis of horizontal speed in
Jonathan Edwards' record leap from 1995. My work over the last 4 years
has culminated in a thesis project which is my current focus. In this
project, I hope to obtain and analyse as much horizontal velocity data in
the triple jump as possible.
To this end, I am searching for any and all such data from previous or
current studies. I have found little data of this type in published
work. However, I believe there must be a great deal of this data in
existence. Even if only I could locate position data, I could readily
derive the velocity data which I am interested in.
If anyone could provide me with information as to where I might locate
this type of data, I would be extremely appreciative. In addition, any
suggestions with regard to the collection of new data, or possible
research collaborations, would be welcomed.
I have posted a project webpage at:
http://student.uq.edu.au/~s803964/gsra/
which includes some of my previous relevant work. Further information on
my biomechanics studies may be found on Kangaroo's Triple Jump Online, at:
