An investigation of the relationship between impact force attenuation in landing and isokinetic strength of knee muscles in individuals with different training backgrounds
Skeletal muscle is a major active mechanism of impact force attenuation in human movement. During the landing phase impact attenuation is achieved through eccentric contraction of the muscles of the lower extremity. However, few studies have investigated the effects of knee strength, especially ecce...
