Sorry to be so long in sending this summary, but better late than never.
I sent this message out in the spring to Biomch-l, and the following are the
responses I received. I did follow up with those who offered further
information, but so far have not heard from them.

There is a paper in the Adapted Physical Activity Quaterly (April
1997) issue that I have compared the wheelchair propulsion
techniques of male senior, female senior and junior male wheelchair
racers. This may be interest!!!

I am curretnly writing a paper entitled " Three dimensional knee
joint kinematics during the sidestep cutting manoeuvre - Gender
comarisons and implications for injury."
I have found some intersting results.
In general however, level of experience rahter than gender appeared
to be the major contributing factor to variability in knee joint
kinematics among subjects.
On initial observation it appeared that it was a gender effect as the
majority of those that displayed inconsistencies were in fact
females. Further examination revealed that they were many years less
experienced than their male counterparts.
as a result I feel that further studies are required that match
gender for experience and this is something that I am in the process
of doing.
I intend to complete the paper in the next week or so. If you like I
can send you some of the general data after that time.
Please reply and let me know this would help
Also, could you please send me the titles of the two articles
comparing kinematics in distance running if possible??

Thanks for your response to my query. I would very much appreciate the
data from your study of the sidestep cutting manoeuver, when available. It
sounds like an interesting study.

women distance marathoners. The International Journal of Sports Biomechanics,

mechanics as a function of velocity in elite distance runners [abstract].

The American Journal of Sportsmedicine entitled "Plyometric Training
in Female Athletes: Decreased Impact Forces and Increased Hamstring
Torques" Vol. 24, No. 6, pp. 765-773. The article details our
findings of large differences in landing mechanics and
hamstrings/quadriceps strength and power ratios between female and
male athetes. You can check out the details at the website below.

I am working on lower extremity angles of the knee (valgus) in
trained men, women, and untrained women. I'm about ready to analyize the
data. If you are interested in this stuff, let me know.

Hi Marion
I am not sure which one of the papers you have read. I just came accross
the following article:
"Relationship between vertical ground reaction force and speed during
walking, slow jogging and running", TS Keller, AM Weisberger, JL Ray et al;
Clinical Biomechanics, Vol. 11 No. 5, 253-259, 1996.
They analysed the vertical ground reaction force - time histories and gait
speed, running style and gender.
I hope this will be of any use to you.
Have a nice day
Margrit
