“…Another interesting finding in this study is that the structure of the patellar tendon in the dominant side behaved differently than the non‐dominant side—possibly because tendon structure may be influenced not only by jump frequency but also by the biomechanics involved. For example, during landing the knee is in external rotation on the non‐dominant side and in internal rotation on the dominant side . This is in line with our results that show a significant relation between load and changes in tendon structure on the dominant side—which as a result of these different biomechanical features of landing may explain the dominant/non‐dominant variation.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between external and internal load and the response of the patellar tendon structure assessed with ultrasound tissue characterization (UTC) in elite male volleyball players during preseason. Eighteen players were followed over 7 weeks, measuring four load parameters during every training and match: volume (minutes played), rating of perceived exertion (RPE) (ranging from 6 to 20), weekly load (RPE*volume), and jump frequency (number of jumps). Patellar tendon structure was measured biweekly using UTC, which quantifies tendon matrix stability resulting in four different echo types (I‐IV). On average, players spent 615 min/wk on training and matches with an RPE of 13.9 and a jump frequency of 269. Load evaluation shows significant changes over the 7 weeks: Volume and weekly load parameters were significantly higher in week 3 than week 7 and in week 4 than week 2. Weekly load performed in week 4 was significantly higher than week 7. No significant changes were observed in tendon structure. On the non‐dominant side, no significant correlations were found between changes in load parameters and echo types. At the dominant side, a higher weekly volume and weekly load resulted in a decrease of echo type I and a higher mean RPE in an increase of echo type II. The results of this study show that both external and internal load influence changes in patellar tendon structure of elite male volleyball players. Monitoring load and the effect on patellar tendon structure may play an important role in injury prevention.

“…This supports the use of unilateral jump-landing test as an appropriate assessment of the risk of lower extremity landing injuries (Sinsurin et al, 2013;Sinsurin et al, 2017;Tamura, Akasaka, Otsudo, Schiozawa, Toda, & Yamada, 2017). Therefore, this study examined jump-landing test with one leg.…”

“…Previous studies (Sinsurin et al, 2013;Sinsurin et al, 2017) exhibited that lateral jump landing needed higher knee flexion at initial contact than forward and diagonal directions. They suggested that lateral jump landing has the higher risk of knee injury compared to forward and diagonal directions.…”

“…Various directions of landing can be observed in different sporting activities. Previous studies have shown differences in lower limb biomechanics during multi-directional landing (Sinsurin, Srisangboriboon, & Vachalathiti, 2017;Sinsurin et al, 2013;Sinsurin, Vachalathiti, Jalayondeja, & Limroongreungrat, 2016). However, assessment of differences in knee and hip coordination during jump landing in different directions has not been reported to date.…”

Knee joint coordination during jump landing in different directions is an important consideration for injury prevention. The aim of the current study was to investigate knee and hip kinematics on the non-dominant and dominant limbs during landing. Nineteen female volleyball athletes performed single-leg jump landing tests in four directions; forward (0°), diagonal (30° and 60°), and lateral (90°) directions. Kinematic and ground reaction force (GRF) data were collected using a 10-camera Vicon system and an AMTI force plate. Knee and hip joint angles, and knee angular velocities were calculated using a lower extremity model in Visual3D. A two factor repeated measures ANOVA was performed to explore limb dominance and jump direction. Significant differences were seen between the jump directions for; angular velocity at initial contact (p < 0.001), angular velocity at peak VGRF (p < 0.001), and knee flexion excursion (p = 0.016). Knee coordination was observed to be poorer in the early phase of velocity-angle plot during landing in lateral direction compared to forward and diagonal directions. The non-dominant limb seemed to have better coordination than the dominant limb during multi-direction jump landing. Therefore, dominant limbs appear to be at a higher injury risk than non-dominant limbs.

Introduction: Injury prevention programs for athletes are still limited by a lack of understanding of specific risk factors that can influence injuries within different sports. The majority of studies on volleyball have not considered the movement patterns when moving in different directions or in planned and unplanned block jump-landings. Methods: This study investigated all planes mechanics between the lead and trail limb when moving in dominant and non-dominant directions, for both planned and unplanned jump-landings in thirteen semi-professional female volleyball players. Ankle, knee and hip joint kinematics, kinetics and joint stiffness were recorded. Results: Our results showed statistically significant differences between the lead limb and the trail limb in the hip flexion angles, moments and velocity; in the knee flexion angles, moments, stiffness, power and energy absorption and in the ankle dorsiflexion, power and energy absorption, showing a tendency where the lead limb has a higher injury risk than the trail limb. When considering planned versus unplanned situations, there were statistically significant differences in knee flexion angles, moments, power and energy absorption; and hip contact angle, flexion angular velocity and energy absorption, with musculoskeletal adaptations in the planned situations. Discussion: It appears that the role of the limb, either lead or trail, is more important than the limb dominance when performing directional jump-landings, with the lead limb having a higher implication on possible overuse injuries than the trail limb. Furthermore, planned movements showed a difference in strategy indicating greater implications to possible overuse injuries than in the unplanned situations which may be associated with more conscious thought about the movements. Conclusion:Coaches should consider unilateral coordination training in both landing directions for the lead and trail limb, and should adapt training to replicate the competition environment, using unplanned situations to minimize asymmetries to might reduce injury risks.
