San Diego State University Biomechanics Ground Reaction Force Data Analysis

Attached below are four graphs:

Figure 1: Vertical force (Fv) vs. antero-posterior force (Fap) of the free walking trials against time

Figure 2: Vertical force (Fv) vs antero-posterior force (Fap) of the three running trials against time

Figure 3: Average vertical force (Fv) vs average antero-posterior force (Fap) of the walking and running profile against % of movement time

Figure 4: Vertical force (Fv) vs antero-posterior force (Fap) vs bodyweight (BW) of the first walking trial against time



Please answer these two questions based on the graphs:

(100-200 words per question)



  1. Based on your plots were there any differences in the vertical peak forces and time to reach these values, for walking and running? If yes, how do you account for these differences?
  1. Based on your plots were there any differences and/or similarities in the horizontal force data (AP direction) in terms of peak values and time to reach these values? If yes, how would you explain that?
