Abstract

(0.41± 0.52Nm/kg) at landing phase. Sidestep cutting had peak valgusmoment (0.86± 0.35Nm/kg). Crossover cutting had peak varus moment (2.68± 0.43Nm/kg). Conclusion(s): High knee valgus moment during medial single leg hop at jumping phase, lateral single leg hop at landing phase and sidestep cutting maneuvers may increase ACL load and risk of injury. Medial and lateral single leg hop close to biomechanical property of actual sidestep cutting are more likely valid for predicting the risk of injury. Implications: Evaluations of knee valgus moment during medial, lateral single leg hop may produce effective ACL injury prevention programs in sports involving sidestep cutting.
