Effect Of Barefoot Strength Training On Time To Stabilization And Ankle Inversion During Single-Leg Drop Landing In Ncaa Division I Female Volleyball Players, Logan Manley, Sydney Leisz, Trevor Gillum, William Boyer, Jared Coburn

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

When volleyball players land from a jump, there is a large energy transfer that occurs throughout the kinetic chain. Time to stabilization (TTS) is a measure that represents the ability to control ground reaction forces (GRF) upon landing. Ankle inversion (INV) angles upon landing also represent the risk of ankle injury due to forceful inversion of the ankle joint. Prior research has found differing risk for injury when accounting for volleyball sport-specific limb dominance and inter-limb asymmetries. A joint is weakened when exposed to repetitive landing movements, putting it at a higher risk of injury due to continual absorption of …
