We aimed to determine whether inclination angles of the line connecting the whole body center of mass (COM) to the center of pressure (COP) (COM–COP angle) help predict the required coefficient of friction (RCOF) in young adult males during the weight acceptance and push-off phases in transient movements such as turning, gait termination and initiation, and steady-state movements such as straight walking. Seventeen healthy young adult males were asked to (1) walk in a straight line, (2) turn 60° with either foot (step and spin turns), and (3) initiate and terminate walking on a dry level floor. Peak absolute values of the ratio between resultant horizontal and vertical ground reaction forces during the weight acceptance and push-off phases (RCOFhand RCOFt, respectively) were calculated. COM–COP anglesθhandθtat the instant of RCOFhand RCOFt, respectively, were also calculated. Bivariate regression analysis demonstrated that the |θh| and |θt| tangents were significant predictors of RCOFh(R= 0.878;R2= 0.770;p< 0.001) and RCOFt(R= 0.918;R2= 0.843;p< 0.001), respectively. The results suggest that COM and COP kinematics (i.e., the COM–COP angle) serve as a predictor of friction requirement during the weight acceptance and push-off phases in steady-state movements such as straight walking and transient movements such as turning as well as gait termination and initiation.
