Influence of Anticipation and Motor-Motor Task Performance on Cutting Biomechanics in Healthy Men.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Biomechanical analyses of cutting tasks have demonstrated kinematic differences associated with the noncontact knee-injury risk when the movement direction is unanticipated. Motor-motor dual tasks occur within dynamic environments and change the demand for attentional resources needed to complete athletic maneuvers, which may contribute to injury risk.

Objective

To investigate the influence of anticipation and motor-motor task performance on cutting biomechanics.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Laboratory.

Patients or other participants

A total of 32 healthy, recreationally active men (age = 23.1 ± 3.6 years, height = 180.0 ± 7.0 cm, mass = 81.3 ± 17.3 kg) who self-reported regular participation in cutting sports.
