| Effect of Tuck Index on Impulse Produced during a Squat Jump in Swimmers |
2008 |
6000 |
Knowing what amount of tuck, as measured by tuck index, produces the highest impulse values during the push-off, along with push off phase duration and distance traveled by the center of mass during the push off phase of a squat jump, will help to op... |
| Comparison of Problem Based Learning and Traditional Lecture Instruction on Critical Thinking, Knowledge, and Application of Strength and Conditioning |
2008 |
13368 |
The purpose of this research was to compare the effects of problem based learning (PBL) and traditional lecture instruction (TI) courses on critical thinking, knowledge and application of strength and conditioning throughout a semester long collegiat... |
| Effects of augmented local abdominal activation patterns on lower extremity biomechanics during landing in males and females |
2005 |
3246 |
"This research assessed changes in lower extremity biomechanics as a result of augmented local abdominal contractions during double leg landings. The study design followed a two-day (control and intervention days) within subject model in which two c... |
| Kinematic and kinetic effects of knee and ankle sagittal plane joint restrictions during squatting |
2005 |
7119 |
"The purpose of this study was to evaluate compensatory biomechanical patterns in the lower extremity created by restricted knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion when performing squats. Forty two healthy subjects (21 men, 21 women; 22.5 (4.5) years, 7... |
| Varus/valgus and internal/external rotational knee joint stiffness in males and females |
2006 |
2459 |
"The purpose of this investigation was to establish day to day reliability of varus/valgus and internal/external rotational stiffness measures and then compare stiffnesses between males and females. Twenty healthy college students underwent varus/val... |
| Effectiveness of cervical spine stabilization during spine boarding of collegiate lacrosse athletes |
2006 |
3012 |
"This study determined if properly and improperly fitted lacrosse helmets provide adequate stabilization of the head, and therefore the cervical spine, in the spine boarded athlete. A 3 x 3 repeated measures design was used with head to helmet range ... |
| A preliminary clinical prediction model for upper-extremity injury in collegiate baseball: a single-center retrospective study |
2013 |
5186 |
Context: Evidence-based practice (EBP) has become a point of emphasis in athletic training education and clinical practice. One approach to EBP is utilizing clinical prediction models (CPM) to assist clinicians in the screening, diagnosis, prognosis,... |
| The influence of attentional focus on neuroplasticity following a seven-day balance training intervention |
2017 |
1079 |
It is well established that focusing on the external effect of one’s movement (an external focus of attention) results in enhanced motor learning and produces superior motor performance compared to focusing inward on the body’s own physical execution... |
| Individual muscle thickness of the quadriceps and hamstrings and their relationship with knee extension and flexion strength |
2017 |
695 |
Strength of the thigh muscles, namely the hamstrings and quadriceps, is a strong determinant of athletic performance and recovery from injury. Thigh strength can be directly assessed using dynamometry or clinical tasks such as jumps and hops, althoug... |
| The impact of differential knee laxity on brain function/structure and postural control |
2020 |
304 |
Greater anterior knee laxity (AKL) is known to be a significant predictor of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Individuals with high AKL are known to have a proprioception deficit and exhibit compensatory movement patterns. The potential alter... |
| Estimation of muscle torque impulses and ability to predict high-risk knee joint mechanics during landing maneuvers |
2011 |
4584 |
This research first examined the validity of net knee joint moment estimations, calculated as the difference between quadriceps and hamstrings torques estimated using either an isometric or angle and action specific sEMG/Torque ratio calculated durin... |
| Validation of the thigh stabilization system for a novel multi-planar instrumented knee arthrometer |
2019 |
574 |
Knee joint laxity characterizes the structural proprieties of the connective tissues and supporting structures within the knee joint. In the past, knee joint laxity has been measured subjectively by clinicians who assess joint integrity through manua... |
| The relationship of ACL morphometry and structural composition to anterior knee laxity |
2016 |
6628 |
Greater anterior knee laxity (AKL) has been identified as a risk factor of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and could be indicative of a weaker ligament. While ACL morphometry and structural composition have the potential to affect ligamentous... |
| Differences in cortical activation during anterior tibial translation between females with high and low laxity |
2023 |
92 |
Over 200,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur each year. Noncontact mechanisms during sport account for ~70% of these injuries. Greater anterior knee laxity (AKL) is an established independent risk factor of ACL injuries in females. Wh... |
