Peak Biomechanical Variables During Bilateral Drop Landings: Comparisons Between Sex (Female/Male) and Fatigue (Pre-Fatigue/Post-Fatigue)

摘要

BackgroundAlthough anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sprains usually occur during the initial phase of the landing cycle (less than 40° knee flexion), the literature has focused on peak values of knee angles, vertical ground reaction force (VGRF), and muscle activity even though it is unclear what occurs during the initial phase of landing.
