Purpose: This review is to systematically estimate if there is any relationship between the
shoe collar characteristic and the risk of ankle sprain by reviewing the literature. Methods …

This study aimed to investigate the activity patterns of trunk and lower limb muscles during
impact-absorbing landing. Electromyogram activities of the trunk and lower limb muscles …

The present study investigated the regulation of leg and joint stiffness in hopping at different
intensity levels. Eight male subjects performed bilateral hopping at various intensity levels …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of bridging with isometric hip
abduction (IHA) using the Thera-Band on gluteus maximus (GM), hamstring (HAM), and …

Purpose Chronic ankle instability (CAI) alters lower extremity neuromuscular function,
associated with a change in corticomotor excitability. The aim of this study was to compare …

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC)
contraction is integrated in neuromuscular activation in upper body muscles during double …

Background There is still uncertainty concerning the beneficial effects of shoe collar height
for ankle sprain prevention and very few data are available in the literature regarding the …

Drop jump (DJ) is often used as a plyometric exercise to improve jumping performance.
Training from improper drop heights and for improper durations lead to unfavorable …

The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of fatigue on the impact forces and
sagittal plane kinematics of the lower extremities in a drop landing task. 15 male collegiate …

The impact of the hamstrings‐to‐quadriceps ratio on sport movement performance has not
been sufficiently described. However, it seems that in movements involving eccentric …
