“…The present study found that the occurrence of pelvic drop in female novice runners was faster than female recreational runners (novice runners; 8.15 ± 5.07 min vs. recreational runners; 18.37 ± 6.70 min, p < 0.01). This finding was similar to a previous study that examined the time in starting pelvic drop in male and female recreational runners during a 30-min self-selected speed treadmill running test (18.75 ± 7.25 min) [20,29].…”

Running has become 1 of the 2 most well-known exercises for health; however, running may cause injuries. The purpose of this analytical descriptive study was to examine the occurrence of pelvic drop during moderate-intensity running in female novice and recreational runners; as well as investigating the relationship between the change in pelvic alignment and Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE), Rating of Perceived Exertion for Legs (RPElegs) and Gluteus muscles fatigue in novice and recreational runners. The participants, aged between 18 and 35 years old, comprised 27 novice runners (less than 1 year of running experience) and 27 recreational runners (2 - 4 years running experience). The participants in both groups performed the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) test and ran at a self-selected speed on a treadmill for 30 min at moderate-intensity within the specified heart rate range of 40 - 59 % heart rate reserve (HRR). RPE, RPElegs and sEMG were collected every 2 min and the pelvic kinematic data were also recorded every minute during the 30 min treadmill running test. The data were analyzed with a statistical significance level at p-value < 0.05. The results demonstrated that the time in starting pelvic drop was 8.15 ± 5.07 and 18.37 ± 6.70 min in female novice and recreational runner groups, respectively (p < 0.01). Pearson’s correlations showed relationship between the pelvic alignment and RPE in novice runners (r = 0.47, p < 0.01) and recreational runners (r = 0.39, p < 0.01). Besides, Pearson’s correlations showed relationship between the pelvic alignment and RPElegs in novice runners (r = 0.48, p < 0.01) and recreational runners (r = 0.32, p < 0.01). In both groups, there was no relationship between the pelvic alignment and Gluteus medius and Gluteus maximus muscle fatigue. According to the study, the occurrence of a pelvic drop in novice runners was faster than recreational runners. The study indicated that consideration of RPE and RPElegs variables might be beneficial for female runners and future studies. HIGHLIGHTS The occurrence of pelvic drop in novice runners was faster than recreational runners. There was a relationship between the change in pelvic alignment and RPE and also RPElegs in female novice and recreational runners. The study indicated that consideration of RPE and RPElegs variables might be beneficial for female runners and future studies. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

“…The previous study evidenced Gluteus medius muscle isometric strength was a poor predictor of pelvic drop [29]. It suggested that future studies should investigate the relationship between clinical-based dynamic strength measures and pelvic drop.…”

“…Changing gait dynamics, for example, by reducing the body weight moment arm through upper body or lower limb positioning, may be an effective strategy for increasing abductor EMA (Warrener et al, ); in fact, exactly such a strategy, carried to an extreme, has been suggested for australopiths (Ruff, ; Ruff and Higgins, ). However, large alterations in gait kinematics, beyond those customarily employed by normally walking modern humans, would likely have entailed an additional locomotor cost (Duffy et al, ; Bare et al, ; Burnet et al, ). If birth mechanisms were different in both australopiths and early Homo from those in modern humans, involving a transverse delivery (Tague and Lovejoy, ; Ruff, ), then further increases in mediolateral dimensions of the birth canal may not have been feasible without adopting an australopith‐like gait.…”

Mechanical Constraints on the Hominin Pelvis and the “Obstetrical Dilemma”

The "obstetrical dilemma" posits that increases in birth canal dimensions during hominin evolution were constrained by mechanical factors associated with bipedal gait. This model has recently been challenged, in part on the basis of experimental data showing little association between pelvic and proximal femoral dimensions and locomotor costs among human experimental subjects. However, complete rejection of the model is premature, for two reasons: (1) it is difficult to extrapolate experimental results to naturalistic conditions and the much more varied body form and possibly locomotor style of early hominins. Relative pelvic breadth and femoral neck length in both australopiths and early Homo are at or beyond the limits observed among modern humans, and there is evidence that australopiths may have used an altered form of bipedal gait. (2) Other mechanical factors in addition to locomotor cost are important when assessing pelvic and proximal femoral morphology. Increasing biacetabular breadth increases the joint reaction force (JRF) on the femoral head. Increasing femoral neck length may reduce hip JRF, but also increases stress and fracture risk in the femoral neck. Increasing both biacetabular breadth and femoral neck length also increases mediolateral bending stress in the proximal femoral shaft, necessitating substantial buttressing of the diaphysis. Thus, there are mechanical consequences beyond simply locomotor costs that must be considered when evaluating variation in pelvic and femoral morphology among past and extant hominins.

This study aimed to characterize muscle activity in male soccer players with a history of hamstring strain injuries (HSI) during accelerated sprinting. Thirteen patients each in the HSI group (history of HSI) and in the healthy group (with no history of HSI) were included. 26 male soccer players of which 13 with and 13 without HSI history were included in this study. Ten muscles were evaluated on electromyography activity during overground sprinting. The testing protocol consisted of a maximal sprint over a distance of 30 meters. One running stride was divided into the early stance phase, late stance phase, early swing phase, mid-swing phase, and late swing phase, and the average muscle activity per phase and the timing of the peak root-mean-square value appearance during each stride were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using repeated-measures two-way ANOVA (group × phase), and multiple comparison tests were performed using the Bonferroni method when the interaction or main effect was significant. The statistical significance level was set at p < 0.05. Gluteus maximus (Gmax), gluteus medius (Gmed), and external oblique (EO) showed activity differences based on HSI history. Gmax was 30% lower, EO was 20% lower, and Gmed was 40% higher in HSI group. This study suggests that, despite previous findings that HSI is most likely during the late swing phase, the HSI group shows a higher injury risk in the early stance phase. This is due to differences in trunk and gluteal muscle activity between the late swing and early stance phases compared to the healthy group. In summary, HSI group had lower activity in the muscles contributing to trunk instability, especially EO and Gmax, before and after ground impact during accelerated sprinting, compared to Healthy.
