Whole-body vibration can reduce calciuria induced by high protein intakes and may counteract bone resorption: A preliminary study
Article Abstract:
Investigations were carried out to see if vibration exposure could alleviate bone mineral losses associated with metabolic acidosis since it was observed that excess protein intake can adversely affect the bone through an increase in calcium excretion. Recording of participants' dietary intake showed that with high protein intake, there was in increase in urinary excretion rates of calcium indicating that vibration stimulation can moderate the increase in bone resorption and reduction in bone formation caused by a metabolic acidosis.

The influence of lower limb amputation level on the approach in the amputee long jump
Article Abstract:
The adjustments to posture, kinematic and temporal characteristics of performance made by lower limb amputees during the last few strides in preparation for long jump take-off, are examined. Both the trans-femoral and trans-tibial athletes appeared to accomplish their reduction in centre of mass during the flight phase between strides.

Biomechanics of aggressive inline skating: landing and balancing on a grind rail
Article Abstract:
The effect of skater experience and lower extremity biomechanics on energy absorption ability is studied and the biomechanical strategies used to balance on a grind rail are observed. Results reveal that vertical impact force is observed to decrease with increasing skater experience in stalls and grinds.
