Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to clarify the high-risk movements of the anterior cruciate ligament during real sports activities. We measured trunk acceleration during real sports activities in badminton, volleyball, and basketball. The extracted high acceleration movements were single-leg landing after the overhand stroke in badminton, deceleration and change of direction in basketball, and landing after blocking or spiking in volleyball. These movements were suggested to be high risk factors of anterior cruciate ligament injury, which can be prevented by developing an intervention to modify these movements.
