The effect of angle on change of direction biomechanics: Comparison and inter-task relationships
Thomas Dos’Santos, Christopher Thomas, Paul A. Jones
Abstract
= 0.260-0.702) associations in KAMs and KIRMs were observed between tasks, indicating that evaluations at different angles are needed to develop an athlete's biomechanical injury risk profile. The results support the concept that COD biomechanics and potential surrogates of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury risk are "angle-dependent"; which have important implications for COD coaching, screening, and physical preparation.
