“…Nonetheless, the study is the first to combine data from force insoles and IMUs positioned on the lower body and trunk, and it could provide perspectives for future research in the field. In general, an inertial sensor-based feedback has been shown to reduce the risk factors for ACL during drop jumps [51]. This application could also be effective for ski jump landing, giving suggestions to athletes about how they would need to perform in order to reduce the impact kinetics.…”

In the past, technological issues limited research focused on ski jump landing. Today, thanks to the development of wearable sensors, it is possible to analyze the biomechanics of athletes without interfering with their movements. The aims of this study were twofold. Firstly, the quantification of the kinetic magnitude during landing is performed using wireless force insoles while 22 athletes jumped during summer training on the hill. In the second part, the insoles were combined with inertial motion units (IMUs) to determine the possible correlation between kinematics and kinetics during landing. The maximal normal ground reaction force (GRFmax) ranged between 1.1 and 5.3 body weight per foot independently when landing using the telemark or parallel leg technique. The GRFmax and impulse were correlated with flying time (p < 0.001). The hip flexions/extensions and the knee and hip rotations of the telemark front leg correlated with GRFmax (r = 0.689, p = 0.040; r = −0.670, p = 0.048; r = 0.820, p = 0.007; respectively). The force insoles and their combination with IMUs resulted in promising setups to analyze landing biomechanics and to provide in-field feedback to the athletes, being quick to place and light, without limiting movement.

“…Although we are unsure why this pattern of elevated early-season injury incidence would be lacrosse specific, one explanation may be the biomechanical requirements of the sport. As has previously been considered, 33 lacrosse athletes are in a more at-risk position during play, with a more upright posture and extended knees (approximately 208 of knee flexion). The greater injury incidence during the early-season segment may also be due to factors such as more frequent substitutions during preseason competitions or a larger number of practices incorporating activities with a lower injury risk per AE (ie, technical or tactical training) during the preseason.…”

Context Although fatigue has been implicated in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, few researchers have examined the timing of injury across a competitive sport season or within a competitive session to gain insight into the potential effects of fatigue on the incidence of ACL injury. Objective To identify the time segments across a competitive season or within an individual competition associated with the greatest ACL injury incidence. Design Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods Data from the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance Program for 2004–2005 through 2015–2016 for basketball, lacrosse, and soccer were analyzed. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) compared ACL injury rates by sport, sex, season segment, and competition period. Poisson regression was used to examine the associations between each of these categories and the incidence of ACL injury as well as interaction effects. Results During the early regular season, the incidence rate was elevated relative to the preseason (IRR = 1.86; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.27, 2.74), middle regular season (IRR = 1.48; 95% CI = 1.01, 2.15), late regular season (IRR = 1.56; 95% CI = 1.08, 2.27), and postseason (IRR = 2.20; 95% CI = 1.06, 4.56). A sport-by-season interaction indicated this effect was largely attributable to a higher incidence in the early season among lacrosse athletes. An interaction between season segment and competition period (P = .02) revealed a greater injury incidence before halftime in the early regular season (IRR = 0.38, 95% CI = 0.19, 0.76), but a greater incidence after halftime in the late regular season (IRR = 2.40, 95% CI = 1.15, 5.02). Fewer noncontact injuries occurred in soccer than in basketball or lacrosse. Conclusions The ACL injury incidence was higher in the early part of the regular season, particularly among lacrosse athletes. Although the injury incidences before and after halftime were similar, further analyses of player time and time of injury within each half are necessary. Coaches and practitioners should be cognizant of the elevated injury incidence during the early season among lacrosse athletes. Future authors should consider more specific analyses to further elucidate the potential role of fatigue development in exacerbating the incidence of ACL injury in collegiate athletes both within games and across the season.

“…La estabilización dinámica de la articulación de la rodilla con un adecuado control neuromuscular mediante acciones musculares coordinadas y una adecuada coactivación durante los saltos, cortes y giros, puede proteger la articulación 31 . En las mujeres, se presentan más factores de riesgo con un incremento en la aducción de cadera 32 y la rotación interna de fémur y una reducción de la flexión de rodilla 33 y del valgo dinámico 34 durante las maniobras combinadas en diferentes planos y los procesos de desaceleración 35 . Además, se han relacionado otros factores con la potencia del salto, tales como la composición corporal y la flexibilidad de la banda iliotibial.…”

Introducción. Las diferencias en la activación muscular de las porciones lateral y medial del cuádriceps durante la ejecución del salto, pueden convertirse en un factor de riesgo neuromuscular al aumentar el valgo dinámico de rodilla y, en consecuencia, el riesgo de lesión del ligamento cruzado anterior de la rodilla.Objetivo. Determinar la diferencia en la activación de los vastos lateral y medial del cuádriceps mediante electromiografía de superficie durante el salto con una sola pierna en los planos sagital y frontal en mujeres deportistas.Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un estudio cuantitativo de corte transversal con la participación de 64 mujeres deportistas a quienes se les tomaron las medidasantropométricas. Se hicieron pruebas de salto vertical y lateral con una sola pierna evaluados mediante la activación electromiográfica de los vastos medial y lateral, y la valoración de la flexibilidad de la banda iliotibial.Resultados. Se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa (p≤0,05) entre el índice de masa corporal, el porcentaje de grasa y la potencia en los saltos verticales con una sola pierna. Se encontró, asimismo, significación estadística (p≤0,05) por una mayor activación del vasto lateral en el salto vertical con la pierna derecha y en el salto lateral con las dos piernas.Conclusión. Las deportistas presentaron diferencias en la activación de los cuádriceps, siendo mayor la activación del vasto lateral en la mayoría de los saltos con una sola pierna tanto en el plano sagital como en el frontal, lo cual puede contribuir a un aumento del riesgo de lesión de rodilla en la práctica deportiva.
