Influence of Anticipation on Neuromuscular Control During a Single-Leg Diagonal Drop Jump Landing Task In Female Football Players. A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: The impact of anticipation during a football-specific action on neuromuscular control in female football players is underexplored. To investigate the influence of anticipation on trunk and lower limb kinematics during a single-leg diagonal drop jump test in female football players. Twenty-eight amateur football players performed two drop jumps per leg in two directions: ipsilateral and contralateral (same or opposite side of the landing leg, respectively) under anticipated and unanticipated conditions. In the anticipated condition, the jump direction was known before landing, whereas in the unanticipated condition, it was indicated by a visual light stimulus presented before ground contact. The sagittal and frontal planes of the first landing were recorded for 2D video analysis. Female foo
