P 021 – Hip-knee and knee-ankle interjoint coordination during short-track speed skating

In short-track speed skating, only a few studies have analyzed the three-dimensional (3D) kinematics of the lower limbs during cornering phases, although there were many studies on the kinematic characteristics of the long-track speed skating, and on the biomechanics of ice hockey skating. Kinematic parameters of the lower limbs during skating are generally presented as a function of time, such as graphs of joint angles versus time. However, conventional parameter-time graphs are not sufficient to quantitatively describe interjoint coordination in sport and daily activities.
