The Effect of Cognitive Dual Task and Mental Fatigue on Landing Biomechanics

In this study, three-dimensional biomechanics , by means of lower limb joint angles and moments (opto-electronic system with synchronised force plate), of landing tasks (anticipated, unanticipated and cognitive dual task) before and after a mental fatigue protocol will be compared in a population of basketball, handball and volleyball players.

  • history of fractures of the lower extremities

Treatment and study plan

3D analysis of landing task

Other

Landing tasks (anticipated, unanticipated and cognitive dual task) are investigated with 3D analysis by using an opto-electronic system

Primary outcomes

  1. Joint angles lower extremity

    Time frame: The same day/test moment, immediately after fatiguing exercises

    Joint angles will be extracted with an opto-electronic system and synchronised force plate

  2. Joint moments lower extremity

    Time frame: The same day/test moment, immediately after fatiguing exercises

    Joint moments will be extracted with an opto-electronic system and synchronised force plate
