Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how physical fatigue and cognitive performance impact knee mechanics, which could increase the risk of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries during challenging movements.
- - Researchers hypothesized that fatigue would negatively influence knee mechanics and that there would be a correlation between reduced cognitive function and these changes in knee mechanics.
- - Results indicated that as fatigue increased, knee flexion decreased, and poorer cognitive performance (like attentional control and reaction time) was linked to altered knee angles, highlighting the interplay between fatigue, cognition, and knee injury risk.
