Recoil sensation in jumping

[[DW]]

Dave is wondering if anybody on here has stumbled on a good explanation for a physical phenomena I have experienced a number of times. 

 

Recently it has happened when I did some broad jumps across a stairwell.  It usually occurs with an all out jump where I fling my arms. 

 

The sensation produced is a slightly lagged sensation (delayed) that lasts for ~30-90 seconds.  It is an unpleasant, very deep 'shock' 'recoil' sensations that occurs in the forearms. It feels like my periosteum and is a 'bone ache' like sensation.

 

Similar to when you jump off something high with no shoes (or shoes) and land on the ground and get the 'stingy/ache' in the feet. 

 

Anyone know what this is?  I would say that because I do not jump regularly it is a de-conditioning thing.. just interested if others have experienced this.

I had (have?) An interesting thing where if I hop on one leg for some time, the leg that is in the air does something weird, when I put it down it's like it is very tensed up and gives me a sharp shock through all of the feet muscles, particularly on the top of the foot. It goes away after 3 or 4 steps. Haven't checked to see if I still have this issue in some time

I jump a lot and sometimes get the same feeling. Upper arm, lower arm and Hands. No Idea why and when, it's to irregular

My guess is that the clue is in DW's original post; "an all out jump where I fling my arms". In that scenario, the arms are the crack at the end of a whip, shock-absorption wise, and they are working eccentrically. Any slight mis-timing must be accommodated too, and the closer to "all-out" the more likely this is. As long as it goes away, no problem, I feel.

K - Yes; it certain is the arms, though I can whip my arms in standing at full velocity and crack them like a whip and I get no sensation (no unpleasant sensation .. it actually feels very good). My question was rather about if anybody knew what structures precisely and how this comes about (in a arms flinging jump). 

It feels like it is some aspect of the loading of the soft tissue connections in leaping (again, only two footed broad jump as one-foot jumping is fine) pulls at whatever connection links the deep flexor-periosteum compartments to the upper and torso.  It is quite an interesting and unpleasant feeling - deep in/around the bone.  No problem, as you say.  It is (potentially) an interesting tightness in my body that one manifests with a full body explosive endeavor at stretch-recoil. 

 

I might play with it this weekend and see if I can replicate it.
