Abstract
Comparing the Knee Joint Kinematic Parameters of Female Athletes During Sidestep Cutting Task Before and After Fatigue in Predictable and Unpredictable Settings
Highlights
G iven the increasing number of athletes in the world in a variety of sports, as well as the increasing prevalence of sports injuries, it is more important to carefully examine the conditions that athletes face during training and competitions, and can increase the risk of injury in them.Despite advances in prevention, injuries such as Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury and its negative consequences are still on the rise among athletes
All subjects ranged in age from 13 to 16 years, and had at least 3 years of regular exercise (3 sessions per week) and a normal BMI. Those who had a history of lower limb injury or surgery in the past 6 months, or had participated in an ACL injury prevention program or had heavy physical activities 24 hours before the testing were excluded from the study
In order to record the three-dimensional kinematics of subjects, markers were used on the lower limbs in three dimensions
Summary
Injuries such as Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury and its negative consequences are still on the rise among athletes Such injuries are non-traumatic and, kinematic parameters during exercise maneuvers, especially in unpredictable conditions and fatigue, can be considered as important risk factors and can expose athletes to ACL injury. Numerous studies have shown that after ACL injury, there are countless consequences for the person and often lead to the end of the injured person's athletic career. These factors indicate the importance of further research to develop appropriate injury prevention programs at critical ages such as adolescence
