Ankle and knee injuries are two of the most common injuries. It has been shown that ankle
sprains can lead to chronic ankle instability thereby affecting the function of the ankle. Since …

Fatigue has often been considered a risk factor for developing sports injuries, modulating
lower extremity jump-landing biomechanics. The impact of fatigue on proximal trunk and …

Context People with chronic ankle instability (CAI) exhibit less weight-bearing dorsiflexion
range of motion (ROM) and less knee flexion during landing than people with stable ankles …

Objectives This study aimed to investigate kinematic changes experienced during running-
induced fatigue. Further, the study examined relations between kinematic changes and core …

Background A key to understanding potential anterior cruciate ligament injury mechanisms
is to determine joint loading characteristics associated with an injury-causing event …

This study analysed the modulation of jump performance, vertical stiffness as well as joint
and intralimb coordination throughout a 30-s vertical jump test. Twenty male athletes …

Background Knee braces are considered to be extremely useful tools in reducing the shear
force of knee joints for non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention …

Purpose Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) symptoms can be provoked during impact loads
such as vertical jumps. To investigate and compare pelvic floor muscle (PFM) activity in …

Countermovement jump (CMJ) is used to assess athletic performance of the lower limbs.
Drop jump (DJ) is an effect training method that can improve athlete's jumping performance …

This study investigated the effects of body mass and shoe midsole hardness on kinetic and
perceptual variables during the performance of three basketball movements:(1) the first and …
