Abstract
ACL injury risk during COD maneuvers is dependent on the chosen movement pattern, which can be impacted by factors like anticipation. This study used a field-based approach including multiple COD angles and directions to explore the effects of anticipation and COD angle on joint angles at the initial ground contact. Twenty soccer players completed planned and unplanned CODs, with kinematic data collected by IMU sensors. For unplanned scenarios, we found evidence for risk-mitigating adaptations (higher knee flexion (p < .001), lower hip abduction (p = 0.046)) as well as injury-provoking movements (less pelvis pre-orientation (p < .001), higher trunk rotation (p = 0.016)), which resulted in decreased COD performance (completion time). This study provides insight into the impact of reduced preparation time on on-field COD kinematics, mimicking the dynamic nature of sports.
