Article Synopsis
- In basketball, changing direction is a key factor in ACL injuries, often occurring in complex situations that require a lot of cognitive effort.
- This study aimed to examine how added visual attention impacts sidestep cutting movements in male basketball players, focusing on the energy absorption phase of the cut.
- Results showed that when visual attention was increased, both hip and knee flexion were significantly reduced, potentially raising the risk of ACL injuries, indicating that training and prevention should account for this cognitive aspect.
