Core strength and lower extremity alignment during single leg squats

Article Abstract:

A study aims to compare the orientation of the lower extremity during a single leg (SL) squat among male and female athletes, to compare the strength of muscle groups in the trunk, hips, and knees between these individuals and lastly, to evaluate the association between trunk, hip, and knee strength and the orientation of the knee joint during this activity. Results indicate females have greater frontal plane projection angle (FPAA) and generally decreased trunk, hip, and knee isometric torque than males during SL squats.

The distribution of forces between the upper and lower back during load carriage

Article Abstract:

A study to determine the proportion of force that is transmitted through the hip belt when carrying a framed backpack and to determine whether backpack mass effects the forces exerted between the upper and lower back is presented. Results show 30 percent of the vertical force generated by the backpack is transferred to the lower back using an external frame backpack with a hip belt as well as contributing to the occurrence of low-back pain associated with load carriage.

Core stability measures as risk factors for lower extremity injury in athletes

Article Abstract:

Core stability measures between male and female athletes who reported injury and who didn't, were compared. Results indicate that core stability plays an important role in prevention of injuries.
