Impact And Push-Off Force Symmetry In Dominant Versus Non-Dominant Legs During A Jump Landing/Cutting Task, Luis Rosado
McNair Scholars Research Journal
Our goal was to examine ground reaction forces (GRF) following a series of unanticipated jump landing and cutting tasks (JLC) and the differences in these GRF’s associated with leg dominance. Nine recreationally active (at least 3x/week of running, cycling, aerobics, or recreational sports participation) right leg dominant females with no history of lower extremity injuries participated in the current study. Each subject conducted a set of 12 (JLC) trails, four (JLC’s) to three different directions. The subjects either performed a left cutting (LC), right cutting (RC) at 30 degrees from center or a straight ahead center cutting (CC) maneuver. Landing …
