  abstract  = {The purpose of this study was to investigate whether sprint performance is related to lower leg musculoskeletal geometry within a homogeneous group of highly trained 100-m sprinters. Using a cluster analysis, eighteen male sprinters were divided into two groups based on their personal best (fast: N = 11, 10.30 ± 0.07 s; slow: N = 7, 10.70 ± 0.08 s). Calf muscular fascicle arrangement and Achilles tendon moment arms (calculated by the gradient of tendon excursion versus ankle joint angle) were analyzed for each athlete using ultrasonography. Achilles tendon moment arm, foot and ankle skeletal geometry, fascicle arrangement as well as the ratio of fascicle length to Achilles tendon moment arm showed no significant (p > 0.05) correlation with sprint performance, nor were there any differences in the analyzed musculoskeletal parameters between the fast and slow sprinter group. Our findings provide evidence that differences in sprint ability in world-class athletes are not a result of differences in the geometrical design of the lower leg even when considering both skeletal and muscular components.},

Effektives Training erfordert hohe Muskelkr{\"a}fte, die gleichzeitig hohe Belastungen von bereits gesch{\"a}digten Strukturen bedeuten. Um trainingsinduzierte Sch{\"a}digungen zu vermeiden, m{\"u}ssen diese Kr{\"a}fte kontrolliert werden. Mit heutigen Trainingsger{\"a}ten k{\"o}nnen diese Ziele allerdings nicht erreicht werden. F{\"u}r ein sicheres und effektives Training sollen durch den Einsatz der Robotik, Sensorik, eines Regelkreises sowie Muskel-Skelett-Modellen Belastungen am Zielgewebe direkt berechnet und kontrolliert werden. Auf Basis zweier Vorstudien zu m{\"o}glichen Stellgr{\"o}ßen wird der Aufbau eines robotischen Systems vorgestellt, das sowohl f{\"u}r Forschungszwecke als auch zur Entwicklung neuartiger Trainingsger{\"a}te verwendet werden kann.},
