Abstract

This study aimed to characterise the preparatory kinematics of sidestepping (SS) and investigate kinematic differences between planned and unplanned SS tasks. 35 male Australian rules football players completed an established SS movement assessment. Trunk, pelvis, knee and ankle kinematics were recorded for straight running and planned and unplanned SS tasks. At toe-off of the penultimate step the stance foot was placed across the midline of the centre of mass in planned SS (-12.5 ± 6.42 cm) and significantly further away from the centre of mass (p
