  1. The extent of fit was compared among four SEM models with different constraints for the two movement parameters obtained using a webcam. The lower value of the fit index represents better fit of the model. AIC: Akaike information criterion; BCC: Browne-Cudeck Criterion. IEMV: iliac elevation maximum velocity; KEMAV: knee extension maximum angular velocity
