Effects Of Synthetic Turf Systems With And Without A Shock Pad On Lower Extremity Biomechanics During A 90° Cutting Movement With Differing Approach Velocities, Thomas Kenneth Elvidge
Masters Theses
The purpose of this study was to examine differences in lower extremity kinematics and kinetics on two different synthetic turf systems (turf only and turf with a shock pad) for two approach velocities (3.0 and 4.0 m/s) during a 90° cutting movement. Twelve recreational male American football and soccer players were recruited to perform five trials for each of the four conditions. A three-dimensional motion analysis system synchronized to a force platform was used to collect marker coordinate and ground reaction force (GRF) data respectively. A 2 x 2 (surface x approach velocity) ANOVA was used to analyze kinematic and …
