According to American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) reports, wearable technology is the number one fitness trend for 2020 in the US. Division III (DIII) schools are the biggest participant in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). In terms of number of student-athletes, soccer is the second most popular sport in NCAA. Duration of high speed and number of accelerations/decelerations have been identified as correlates of injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, especially in female athletes. PURPOSE: To examine whether there are sex difference in the relationship of speed and acceleration metrics in collegiate soccer. METHODS: …

The Effect Of External Ankle Support On Lower Extremity Biomechanics, Haley Hurt, Scott Mclean, Edward Merritt

ACL injury risk has been related to abnormal frontal plane knee mechanics. It’s not clear whether constraining another lower extremity joint with bracing or taping might contribute to this increased injury risk by altering knee movements. PURPOSE: To examine the effect of external ankle support on lower extremity kinematics during a drop landing. METHODS: Twenty-five participants (20.3 ± 1.2 years, 168.7 ± 32.9 cm, 78.0 ± 14.9 kg) performed drop landings from a height of 61 cm under three conditions; no ankle support, athletic tape, and a lace-up ankle brace. The subject performed three trials per condition. Sixteen …
Effects Of Using Wedged-Weightlifting Shoes While Performing A Front Squat, Brielle Adolph, Scott P. Mclean
Effects Of Using Wedged-Weightlifting Shoes While Performing A Front Squat, Brielle Adolph, Scott P. Mclean
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Wedged-weightlifting shoes may contribute to a better squatting postural technique by allowing for an increase in ankle dorsiflexion, an increase in hip flexion, and a decrease in the amount of trunk lean. Purpose: To examine how wedged-weightlifting shoes affect peak power output, trunk lean, hip flexion, and ankle dorsiflexion during the performance of a front-squat. Methods: Six participants (167.875±20.13 lbs., 20.67±1.51 yrs.) completed five-repetition squatting trials while standing on a Bertec force plate. Force data were collected at 100 Hz using the Biopac Acknowledge system during these trials. Simultaneously, the trials were video recorded at 50 Hz in the sagittal …

Proprioception is defined as the process of taking in and analyzing information about the position of the body. Proprioception can be tested by excluding the visual sense and performing arm movements in a repetitive manner. An arm kinesthesiometer, used to test proprioception, is a device that measures the angle of movement around a joint in 1 degree increments and allows both active and passive movement. PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to determine whether sighted individuals perform better than those with occluded sight (blindfolded) due to proprioceptive awareness. METHODS: For 1 week, 92 student subjects from a …
