BP,
I have a couple of biomechanics books. Any specific chapters or other suggested reading material to wrap my brain around as I put together an algorithm that could perform a rough estimate for the run?
Again I appreciate your help. I don't mind doing the research and I appreciate when...
So as I put this together:
#1 an individual uses a horizontal leg press to perform 12 repetitions of 68kg over a total of 24 seconds. Distance covered forward 0.3556 meters and the same back to the starting position. It takes the individual 1 second to press the mass forward and 1 second to...
ok...I can work with that. So the equation I will use for the first part is Work = mass * x? * gravity?
I am still stumped on what to use for the straight shot run estimate...will the top equation be used as well since I assume you use the mass of the person and again gravity is acting down...
Homework Statement
How much force is exerted when an individual leg presses 68 kg twelve times in 24 seconds?
The leg press machine is a horizontal press machine.
Distance pressed forward 14 inches
2 seconds forward followed by 2 seconds reversed for each rep was held constant...
