The ability to produce a timely explosive force may affect loading rate at landing

Abstract Background Sports injuries are strongly associated with the impact loading at landing. The abilities to produce force and adjust timing simultaneously required absorb loading. Aims Hence, we aimed examine hypothesis that ability an explosive right is related Methods Twenty-nine healthy young men volunteered participate in study. We proposed a new test measure rate of development (RFD) accordance countdown signal. To evaluate time, measured change between RFD standard start signal Furthermore, land from jump, single-leg drop landing (20 cm). Results divided participants into two groups based on effect: positive group (participants increased signal, n = 11) negative decreased 18). was significantly greater ( P < .01) (47.4 ± 11.2 body weight (BW)/s) than (34.7 7.1 BW/s). Conclusions Participants had lower Our results suggest timely may be determinant safe ability.
