![]() Coaches should therefore promote hamstring 16 strength training and active trunk flexion during landing and cutting in an attempt to 17 reduce ACL injury risk. Decision making has also been shown to 14 influence landing biomechanics and should be considered when designing tasks to 15 assess landing/cutting biomechanics. (NEMG) signal amplitude as a measure of muscle activation. In particular, 11 increased trunk flexion during landing/cutting and greater hamstring strength are 12 likely to increase hamstring muscle force during landing and cutting which have been 13 associated with reduced ACL injury risk. biceps femoris during 5 unilateral weight-bearing exercises. Current perspectives investigating trunk position and relationships between 8 strength, muscle activity and biomechanics during landing/cutting highlight the 9 importance of increasing hamstring muscle force during dynamic movements through 10 altering strength, muscle activity, muscle length and contraction velocity. This paper aimed 6 to review these biomechanical risk factors and highlight future directions relating to 7 them. ![]() 4 There is considerable evidence to support a number of biomechanical risk factors 5 associated with non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
