Investigation of the biomechanics of running and rapid change-of-direction tasks

Creator:: Golden, Grace M.
Abstract:: Rapid change-of-direction tasks have been associated with non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and females are more likely to suffer this injury compared to males.
