Effects of abdominal postures on lower extremity energetics during single-leg landings

Article Abstract:

The reliability of sustaining abdominal postures during single-leg landings and the effects of abdominal postures on lower extremity kinetics and energetics is evaluated. It is concluded that abdominal postures can be reliably performed during a single-leg landing task and energy-absorption effect sizes suggest a link between the trunk and lower extremity.
