Lower extremity energy absorption strategies at different phases during single and double-leg landings with knee valgus in pubertal female athletes

Abstract Dynamic knee valgus (DKV) malalignment affects the biomechanical characteristic during sports activities. This cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate mechanical energy absorption (MEA) strategies at initial contact (IC) and total landing (TL) phases during single-leg landing (SLL),...
