Lower limb kinematics of male and female soccer players during a self-selected cutting maneuver: Effects of prolonged activity.

Background: Despite the recent emphasis on injury prevention, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury rates remain high. This study aimed to ascertain the effects of prolonged activity on lower limb kinematics during a self-selected cutting maneuver.

Methods: Angular kinematics were recorded during an agility test performed until the completion time was greater than the mean plus one SD of baseline trials.
