Dit onderzoek richtte zich op het vergelijken van de maximale en minimale spronghoogte van drie unilaterale sprongvarianten. Het doel was om te bepalen of er een significant verschil bestond tussen de prestaties van beide benen, wat waardevolle inzichten kan bieden voor trainers, sporters en revalidatiespecialisten …

Abstract This study assessed the efficacy of a co-designed, school-based intervention meant to promote physical activity and fitness among Dutch prevocational secondary students. In a two-year clustered randomized controlled trial, students’ physical activity and fitness was measured by indirect and …

The current double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial with two parallel groups aimed to assess the impact of whey protein supplementation on recovery of muscle function and muscle soreness following eccentric exercise. During a 9-day period, forty recreationally active males received twice daily …

Achtergrond: dynamische knievalgus is een voorspeller is van een verhoogd risico op verschillende letsels aan de onderste extremiteit. De onderliggende factoren die invloed hebben op de mate van knievalgus hoek zijn nog niet volledig begrepen. Doelstelling van het huidige onderzoek is om de invloed te …

BACKGROUND: Causes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are multifactorial. Anterior cruciate ligament injury prevention should thus be approached from a multifactorial perspective as well. Training to resist fatigue is an underestimated aspect of prevention programs given that the presence of …

BACKGROUND: Implicit (IF) and explicit (EF) feedback are two motor learning strategies demonstrated to alter movement patterns. There is conflicting evidence on which strategy produces better outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of reduced IF and EF video feedback on lower extremity …

Video feedback may be a powerful tool to change biomechanical landing patterns associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk. This study investigated the effect of video feedback on drop vertical jump (DVJ) landing strategies in team sport athletes. 59 athletes were assigned to a video …

External focus instructions have been shown to result in superior motor performance compared to internal focus instructions. Using an EF may help to optimize current anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of instructions …

Implicit (IF) and explicit (EF) feedback are two motor learning strategies that have been demonstrated to alter biomechanical movement patterns. While both strategies have been utilized for injury prevention, it remains unclear which strategy may be more effective. PURPOSE: To examine the effects of …

External of focus of attention has been shown to result in superior motor performance compared to an internal focus of attention. Adding external focus of attention may optimize current anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs. Objective: To determine the effect of internal (IF) and …
