Abstract

Predicting human responses to environmental changes is necessary for biomechanical analysis and sports product design. If case studies, environmental conditions or prototypes cannot be realized, modeling and simulation can be used instead. The aim of this work was to evaluate a method of predictive musculoskeletal simulation [1] for uphill and downhill running. A study was simulated by randomizing the model’s muscle parameters. The predicted energy costs for running at different slopes were compared to literature [2]. Future work includes a personalization of biomechanical models to represent individual athletes as well as population groups. The sensitivity of simulation results to model parameters will be studied to ensure robust simulation results.
