The first research has been published on the impact of agility weaves.
This may be of interest to some of you that the biomechanics (force and movement) has for the first time been quantified by a researcher. It is a preliminary study that some of you may think the results are obvious. It is doesn’t take into account all styles of weaving but it is a really good starting point.
Here’s a free write up of the of the article…
A new study investigating the biomechanics of weave pole performance in agility dogs has revealed significant differences in limb loading depending on gait style, raising important questions about long-term injury risk in canine athletes. The paper, Gait style during weave pole performance affects l...
