When assessing biomechanics in a laboratory setting, task selection is critical to the
production of accurate and meaningful data. The injury biomechanics of landing is …

Noncontact lower extremity injuries are commonly related to jumping and landing activities.
This review presents an overview of relevant biomechanical variables that can be modified …

Background This study examined the relationships between impulse and kinetic variables
during jumping and landing in elite young male volleyball players. Methodology Eighteen …

Background The double-leg jump-landing (DLJL) task is commonly used as a movement
screen that can be implemented in large cohorts of athletes. However, it is debatable …

This study examined biomechanical differences between external and internal foci of
attention during vertical jump landings in males and females. Twenty-four healthy adults …

Weighted vest (WV) use during vertical jump landings (VJL) does not appear to alter peak
vertical ground reaction forces (GRF) or peak joint torques. However, WV effects on joint …

This study examines the effects of limb dominance and lead limb in task initiation on the
kinetics and kinematics of step-off drop landings. Nineteen male participants performed drop …

Background: Generalized joint hypermobility is an important risk factor for knee injuries,
including to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Examining movement patterns specific to …

Warfighter performance may be compromised through the impact of load carriage on
dynamic postural stability. Men and women may experience this impact to differing extents …

Previous research suggests that landing mechanics may be affected by the mechanics of the
preceding jump take-off. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether jump …
