Fig. 5From: A cross-sectional study of the effects of load carriage on running characteristics and tibial mechanical stress: implications for stress-fracture injuries in womenJoint reaction forces (JRFs) at different loads during one gait cycle. Solid lines represent means of four subjects. Shaded areas represent one standard deviation above and below the means. Each graph begins and ends at initial contact. The vertical dashed line, which represents the toe-off point for each condition, separates the stance phase (before toe off) from the swing phase (after toe off). Results are shown as normalized dimensionless quantities. BW: body weightBack to article page
