Dear Biomch-L subscribers:
In partial reply to Marc's query, I suggest Ms. Goss looks at:
Whittle MW, Sargeant AJ, Johns L
Computerised analysis of knee moments during weightlifting
Biomechanics XI-B (eds. G. de Groot, A.P. Hollander, P.A. Huijing,
G.J. van Ingen Schenau) Free University Press, Amsterdam,
pp. 885-8, 1988.
This gives the knee angles and moments in a single subject during
a particularly stressful activity - a "clean-and-jerk" weighlifting
lift of 165kg!
