Chris (& others):
I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to agree with Ton van den Bogert and At
Hof on this one.
Moreover, I have plotted some of my old dissertation data that shows this:
http://www.edb.utexas.edu/faculty/dingwell/SD.jpg
The reason that the SD's look smaller during periods of high velocity is on
a plot of mean +/- SD is an optical illusion. The SD band appears narrow
(horizontally), but if you actually measure (vertically), you get a
different answer....
The figure shows data from a healthy young subject walking over level
ground. The joint angle data were obtained with goniometers (P&J) and the
mean +/- SD curves were constructed from a set of 50 consecutive strides
from the middle of the self-selected speed walking trial. Even though the
SD bandwidth appears narrower in the mean+/-SD plots (top plots), the SD
values get larger when angular velocity is higher (bottom plots).
Although I have made no attempts to verify this, I believe Ton's suggestion
as to why this happens makes a lot of sense.
I hope this helps.....
