Background: Approximately two-thirds of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are
sustained during noncontact situations when an athlete is cutting, pivoting, decelerating, or …

Background The influence of fixture congestion on injury rates and team performance has
only been scarcely investigated. Aim To study associations between recovery time and …

Introduction The risk of musculoskeletal injury is multifactorial (Bahr 2005). Injury risk is a
composite of intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors that can be modifiable or non-modifiable …

The seventh ACL Research Retreat was held March 19–21, 2015, in Greensboro, North
Carolina. The retreat brought together clinicians and researchers to present and discuss the …

Neuromuscular fatigue is a commonly accepted risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL) injury. It has been proposed that fatigue leads to transient reductions in muscle …

When individuals perform purposeful actions to fatigue, there is typically a general decline in
their movement performance. This study was designed to investigate the effects exercise …

Context: Noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injury has been reported to occur during the
later stages of a game when fatigue is most likely present. Few researchers have focused on …

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of two fatigue protocols on lower-limb joint
mechanics, stiffness and energy absorption during drop landings. Fifteen male athletes …

Purpose To determine how sex and fatigue affect lower limb kinematics, kinetics, and
muscle activity during unanticipated side-step cutting. Methods Twenty-three physically …

Context Sex differences in landing biomechanics play a role in increased rates of anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in female athletes. Exercising to various states of fatigue …
