“…FR and stretching have been shown to decrease muscle and fascial stiffness [20,40]. The group with decreased passive stiffness in the hip external rotation had a significant increase in hip internal rotation angle during movement [41]. We hypothesized that performing FR + DS reduced tissue stretch and passive stiffness that inhibited hip IR ROM.…”

Golfers with decreased range of motion (ROM) of their leading hip internal rotation (IR) have increased lumbar rotation ROM and load. This study investigated the effects of foam roller (FR) applied to their leading hip muscles combined with stretching to the leading hip together with lumbar rotation ROM during the golf swing. The study design was a crossover design. Subjects were allocated to one of two groups comprising FR and dynamic stretching (FR + DS) or practice swing. Motion analysis was used to evaluate hip and lumbar angles during the golf swing. Data were compared using analysis of variance with Bonferroni correction using paired t-test’s post hoc. The association between lead hip IR angle and lumbar spine left rotation (Lrot) angle was investigated using correlation analysis. Lead hip IR ROM during the golf swing was significantly greater in the FR + DS group (p = 0.034). The FR + DS group showed a moderate negative correlation between lead hip IR ROM and lower lumbar spine Lrot ROM during the golf swing (r = −0.522). The application of FR + DS might be useful to increase lead hip IR angle during the golf swing. Moreover, the application of FR + DS improves lead hip IR angle and may decrease lumbar spine rotation.

“…Several factors can contribute to altered kinetics and kinematics during single-leg weight-bearing tasks, such as active or passive stiffness, altered neuromuscular control, or muscle strength [40][41][42][43]. It should be highlighted that, currently, there is no evidence that altered and/or distinct kinetic and kinematic parameters are risk factors for knee-related injuries or painful conditions [16][17][18].…”

This cross-sectional study aimed to describe and compare kinetic and kinematic variables of the knee joint during stair descent, single-leg step down, and single-leg squat tasks. It also aimed to investigate potential sex difference during the tasks. Thirty young asymptomatic individuals (15 males, 15 females) were assessed during the performance of single-leg weight-bearing tasks. The kinetic and kinematic data from the knee were evaluated at the peak knee moment and at peak knee flexion. Single-leg squat presented a higher peak knee moment (2.37 Nm/kg) and the greatest knee moment (1.91 Nm/kg) at knee peak angle in the frontal plane, but the lowest knee flexion (67°) than the other two tasks (p < 0.05). Additionally, the single-leg step down task presented a higher varus knee angle (5.70°) when compared to stair descent (3.71°) (p < 0.001). No substantial sex difference could be observed. In conclusion, in asymptomatic young individuals, single-leg squats presented the greatest demand in the frontal and sagittal planes. Single-leg step down demanded a greater angular displacement than stair descent in the frontal plane. We did not identify a significant difference among the sex and studied variables.

This research aimed to measure lower extremity kinematics for male and female youths during daily activities and to identify gender differences from kinematics of lower limbs. A total of 87 healthy participants, comprising 43 Chinese male youths and 44 female youths, were recruited from Anhui Polytechnic University to participate in this research. All participants were instructed to perform squatting activities on a soft mat starting from an upright position. Every participant completed six squatting exercises, and motion capture technology was used to gather 3D kinematic data. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis. The average 3D angles of the hip, knee, and ankle joints of male and female youths were calculated, and then the independent t-test was used for statistical significance. Data analysis showed no significant gender differences in the sagittal movements of the knee and ankle joints for Chinese male and female youths. The mean hip joint angle during squatting was [Formula: see text] for male youths and [Formula: see text] for female youths. The knee joint angle was [Formula: see text] for male youths and [Formula: see text] for female youths. With regard to ankle mobility, the hip and ankle ranges of motion were [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for male youths and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for female youths. Both sexes showed significant gender differences in the nonsagittal plane. The range of motion (ROM) observed during deep squatting exceeds the ROM after arthroplasty for Chinese male and female youths. These findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of deep squatting biomechanics for the Chinese population and provide a basis for mitigating hyperflexion exercises and fabricating appropriate joint injury prostheses. By understanding the specific movement patterns of Chinese male and female youths, healthcare professionals can develop individualized interventions and rehabilitation programs to improve functional outcomes, prevent joint injuries, and improve the overall quality of life. The research found significant gender differences for sagittal hip and anterior ankle movements of male youths during squatting. These findings shed light on the kinematics of lower limbs. They have the potential to influence future research and medical practice to improve joint health and functional mobility for Chinese male and female youths.
