An integrated biomechanical analysis of high speed incline and level treadmill running
Article Abstract:
This study examines the joint kinematics and stride dynamics involved in high-speed running on an inclined treadmill. Results indicate that incline running increases stride frequency and percentage, enhances muscular loading, and requires a greater range of motion for joints during push-off when compared to level running.

Muscular and metabolic costs of uphill backpacking: are hiking poles beneficial?
Article Abstract:
This study examines the physiological benefits of using hiking poles during uphill backpacking. Findings indicate that using hiking poles resulted in lower perceived exertion, longer strides, reduced activity in lower extremity muscles, and an increased heart rate during an hour-long inclined backpacking session.

Biomechanical comparison of two racing wheelchair propulsion techniques
Article Abstract:
This article compares the biomechanical properties of backhand and traditional propulsion techniques used in wheelchair racing. Findings indicate that a backhand technique provides an increased push time and angle that allows endurance athletes to transmit greater force when compared to the traditional pushing approach.
