Eligibility

Age

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Between 18-30 years old - Participating in a sport that involves a considerable amount of high-speed running (i.e., > ~18 km/h) for at least three times a week. Sports that meet this criterion are football (soccer) rugby, hockey, running (when performing high-intensity interval training for at least three times a week); - Male - >1.70 m of height because long individuals are needed for a simultaneous measurement of ultrasound and surface electromyographic activity.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Severe visual or hearing impairment; - History of a previous injury to the leg or back within the previous 24 months;

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary parameter in this study is fascicle length changes as determined by B-mode ultrasound	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary study parameters are muscle activity as determined by surface electrodes and muscle forces as determined by static inverse dynamics from external force measurements and 3D motion analysis. Other study parameters are body height, mass, age and training experience.	—
