Abstract

The purpose of this study was development a lower leg model by the finite element method for the analysis of physical exercise and sports. In the vertical drop test simulation, the contact time of the foot model and the floor model was about 23 ms, and the vertical peak force was about 8400 N for the model weight of 60 kg. It seems that a good approximation is acquired when comparing the actual ones with that values in the experiment The vertical peak force for this boundary condition was much higher than that reported for real human running. It was observed that the highly stressed regions were the tibia, the calcaneus, the metatarsals, and the navicular in dynamic transient analysis.
