Background The external movement loads imposed on players during competitive team
sports are commonly measured using global positioning system devices. Information …

Recent technological developments have led to the production of inexpensive, non-invasive,
miniature magneto-inertial sensors, ideal for obtaining sport performance measures during …

Abstract Changes of direction (CODs) are key manoeuvres linked to decisive moments in
sport and are also key actions associated with lower limb injuries. During sport athletes …

High-intensity horizontal decelerations occur frequently in team sports and are typically
performed to facilitate a reduction in momentum preceding a change of direction manoeuvre …

Rapid horizontal accelerations and decelerations are crucial events enabling the changes of
velocity and direction integral to sports involving random intermittent multi-directional …

Background Most cutting biomechanical studies investigate performance and knee joint load
determinants independently. This is surprising because cutting is an important action linked …

Abstract Dos' Santos, T, McBurnie, A, Thomas, C, Comfort, P, and Jones, PA. Biomechanical
determinants of the modified and traditional 505 change of direction speed test. J Strength …

In a randomised controlled trial design, effects of 6 weeks of plyometric training on maximal-
intensity exercise and endurance performance were compared in male and female soccer …

Objective To critically evaluate the effect of limb dominance on change of direction (COD)
biomechanics associated with increased ACL injury-risk. Methods A systematic review of the …

This review provides a definition for multidirectional speed (MDS) and evaluates its technical
and mechanical underpinnings. This review explores each component of MDS while …
