Effect of fatigue on tibial impact accelerations and knee kinematics in drop jumps

Article Abstract:

A study seeks to determine if whole-body fatigue increases peak-impact acceleration on the proximal tibia during plyometric drop jumps and if it produces associated changes in knee-joint kinematics during landing. Findings indicate that care must be taken when performing drop jumps from a height of 30 cm in a fatigued state due to the reduced capacity to attenuate impact accelerations at the tibia, which might be associated with an increased risk of injury.

Therapeutic cooling: No effect on hamstring reflexes and knee stability

Article Abstract:

Evaluation is done to find out if there are negative effects on knee cooling on hamstring short and medium latency reflex responses or on the anterior tibia trajectory after mechanically induced tibia translation. It is concluded that cold therapy does not adversely influence the spinal reflexes of hamstrings induced by anterior tibia translation.

The effects of knee contact angle on impact forces and accelerations

Article Abstract:

The article summarizes findings from various studies with regard to the effects of knee contact angle on forces and accelerations. In order to get a holistic view of the influences on running, additional environment manipulations and kinematics variables must be studied and examined.
