“…Studies that investigated the factors contributing to ACL injuries caused during the sidestep cutting maneuver were conducted at a constant sprinting velocity ( McLean et al, 2004 ; O’Connor et al, 2009 ; Weinhandl et al, 2013 ). ACL loading has been reported to occur as a result of a complex interaction between sagittal plane shear forces (i.e., quadriceps, hamstrings, and tibiofemoral) and frontal and transverse plane knee moments ( Bedo et al, 2021 ; Weinhandl et al, 2013 ). Importantly, the findings of previous studies suggest that unanticipated movements such as sidestep cutting increase anterior cruciate ligament loading.…”

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of an increase in sprinting velocity on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) load, knee joint load, and activation of femoral muscles using the musculoskeletal modeling approach. Fourteen high school male athletes were recruited (age: 17.4 ± 0.7 years, height: 1.75 ± 0.04 m, weight: 73.3 ± 8.94 kg), with the right foot dominant and physical activity level of about 3–4 h per day. The kinematics, kinetics, and co-contraction index (CCI) of the extensors and flexors of the right leg’s femoral muscles were calculated. The anterior cruciate ligament load was estimated using the musculoskeletal modeling method. In the results, it was observed that the anterior cruciate ligament load (p < 0.017) increased as sidestep cutting velocity increased, resulting in increased adduction (p < 0.017) and the internal rotation moment of the knee joint. This was significantly higher than when sprinting at a similar velocity. The co-contraction index result, which represents the balanced activation of the femoral extensor and flexor muscles, showed a tendency of decrement with increasing sprinting velocity during sidestep cutting (p < 0.017), whereas no significant differences were observed when running at different sprinting conditions. Therefore, we postulate that factors such as knee joint shear force, extended landing posture with increasing sprinting velocity, internal rotation moment, and femoral muscle activity imbalance influence the increase of anterior cruciate ligament load during a sidestep cutting maneuver.

“…A total of 21 studies assessed cutting/change of direction activities. Among them, five studies evaluated the effect of foot-strike and movement patterns on cutting maneuvers, [37][38][39][40][41] four focused on the influence of anticipation and uncertainty, [42][43][44][45] four assessed the influence of external factors such as fatigue, 46,47 footwear 48 and surface, 49 and two looked at the influence of training and movement strategies. 50,51 Single studies evaluated the effects of sex, 52 speed, 53 lab versus field, 54 limb differences, 55 cutting on a softball base compared to a flat surface, 56 and the joint contact forces of the medial versus the lateral tibiofemoral joint (table 2).…”

BackgroundBiomechanics is crucial in enhancing sports performance and preventing injury. Traditionally, discrete point analysis is used to analyze important kinetic and kinematic data points, reducing continuous data to a single point. One-dimensional Statistical Parametric Mapping (spm1d) offers a more comprehensive approach by assessing entire movement curves instead of isolated peak values. Nevertheless, spm1d is still underutilized in various sports and sports-related injuries.PurposeTo summarize the existing literature on the application of spm1d in sports biomechanics, including the kinetics and kinematics of the hip, knee, and ankle joints, as well as to identify gaps in the literature that may require further research.MethodsA scoping review was conducted, searching PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and ProQuest databases. English peer-reviewed studies using SPM to assess lower limb kinetics or kinematics in different sports or sports-related injuries were included. In contrast, reviews, meta-analyses, conference abstracts, grey literature, and studies focusing on non-kinetic or kinematic outcomes were excluded.ResultsThe review yielded 129 papers, with an increased number of studies published in the last three years. Of these studies, 81 examined healthy individuals (63%), and 48 focused on injured populations (37%). Running (n=28), cutting (n=21), and jumping/landing (n=14) were the most common activities. The most prevalent sport-related injuries examined were anterior cruciate ligament rupture (n=21), chronic ankle instability (n=16), and hip-related pain (n=9). Research gaps include the underrepresentation of common sports and movements, small sample size, lack of studies in non-laboratory settings and varied active age groups, and absence of evaluations on the effects of protective sports gear other than shoes.ConclusionThe application of spm1d in sports biomechanics demonstrates diverse uses in sports performance, injury reduction, and rehabilitation. While spm1d shows promise in improving our understanding of sports biomechanics, there are still significant gaps in the literature that present future research opportunities.

“…When cutting maneuvers are performed in an unanticipated manner compared to pre-planned maneuvers, the time available for making optimal postural adjustments before task performance is decreased. Such maneuvers emulate sports-specific scenarios and have ecological validity 25 . This may further add to the ACL strain due to an increase in internal/external rotation and varus/valgus movement in the knee 26,27 .…”

Efficient neuromuscular coordination of the thigh muscles is crucial in maintaining dynamic knee stability and thus reducing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury/re-injury risk. This cross-sectional study measured electromyographic (EMG) thigh muscle co-contraction patterns during a novel one-leg double-hop test among individuals with ACL reconstruction (ACLR; n = 34), elite athletes (n = 22) and controls (n = 24). Participants performed a forward hop followed by a 45° unanticipated diagonal hop either in a medial (UMDH) or lateral direction (ULDH). Medial and lateral quadriceps and hamstrings EMG were recorded for one leg (injured/non-dominant). Quadriceps-to-Hamstring (Q:H) ratio, lateral and medial Q:H co-contraction indices (CCIs), and medial-to-lateral Q:H co-contraction ratio (CCR; a ratio of CCIs) were calculated for three phases (100 ms prior to landing, initial contact [IC] and deceleration phases) of landing. We found greater activity of the quadriceps than the hamstrings during the IC and deceleration phases of UMDH/ULDH across groups. However, higher co-contraction of medial rather than lateral thigh muscles during the deceleration phase of landing was found; if such co-contraction patterns cause knee adduction, a putative mechanism to decrease ACL injury risk, during the deceleration phase of landing across groups warrants further investigation.
