Abstract

Background: One mechanism by which exercise interventions may be effective in reducing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk is through changes in lower limb biomechanics. Understanding how training programmes affect lower-limb kinematics and kinetics may help refine injury prevention programmes. Objective: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the effect of injury prevention programmes on kinematics and kinetics during tasks related to ACL injury in female team field and court sports. Data Sources: Five databases were searched in October 2022. Eligibility Criteria: Randomised controlled trials assessing the effect of injury prevention programmes compared w..
