Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in strength and lower extremity kinematics during landing
TL;DR: Kinematic, vertical ground reaction forces, and strength variables in healthy collegiate female basketball, volleyball, and soccer players compared with matched male subjects were evaluated and females had significantly less knee flexion and lower leg internal rotation maximum angular displacement and significantly less peak torque to body mass than males.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of upper torso and pelvis rotation in driving performance during the golf swing
Joseph B. Myers,Scott M. Lephart,Yung-Shen Tsai,Timothy C. Sell,James M. Smoliga,John T. Jolly +5 more
TL;DR: Golf instructors can consider increasing ball velocity by maximizing separation between the upper torso and pelvis at the top of and initiation of the downswing, ultimately contributing to greater ball velocity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the ankle, knee, hip, and trunk corrective action shown during single-leg stance on firm, foam, and multiaxial surfaces.
TL;DR: The ankle is of primary importance during single-leg stance on firm, foam, and multiaxial surfaces, with proximal joints having an increased role under more challenging conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric resting scapular posture in healthy overhead athletes.
Sakiko Oyama,Sakiko Oyama,Joseph B. Myers,Joseph B. Myers,Craig A. Wassinger,R. Daniel Ricci,Scott M. Lephart +6 more
TL;DR: The results emphasize the importance of the baseline evaluation in this population of healthy overhead athletes in order to accurately assess pathologic change in bilateral scapular positions and orientations after injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of the injury rate for children in community sports
TL;DR: The direct observations of community sports through 2 seasons showed areas where immediate modifications could reduce injury risk and the classification of football as a collision sport, the high number of exposures per player, the FITS score, and the percentage of injuries considered serious, youth football should be a priority for injury studies.
