Abstract

The results at the high ACL loading phase demonstrated an increased amount of frontal plane moment arm and external knee adduction or varus moments just after ball impact, those associated with a characteristical difference in the upper body motion or posture, were the main contributors to the elevated ACL force of the target-side knee.
