Abstract
Over the past several years in our laboratory at McGill, and in Milan at the Bioengineering center with A. Pedotti, we have been studying the act of landing from a jump-down using various paradigms including: the role of height and vision when planning landing in adults (Thompson and McKinley, 1988), the role of vision in landing from a jump in children (Pelland and McKinley, 1988, Pelland et al., 1990), the effect of similarity or difference in compliance of the takeoff and landing surfaces on jump execution (Bastien and McKinley, 1988) and the roll of skill in landing from a jump onto surfaces of differing compliances (McKinley and Pedotti, 1990).
