Impact of fatigue on gender-based high-risk landing strategies
Article Abstract:
The potential contributions of neuromuscular fatigue to the noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries that carry significant short- and long-term morbidity, especially in females, are determined. Analysis reveals that fatigue-induced modifications in the lower-limb control may increase the risk of noncontact ACL injuries during landings in athletes.
