Abstract

This study investigated how fatigue impacts trunk-hip and hip-knee coordination in female handball athletes during the sidestep cutting maneuver (SCM). Twenty participants performed three trials of the SCM task under pre- and post-fatigue conditions. An eight-camera motion capture system tracked reflective markers attached to their skin to compute the trunk, hip, and knee angles. A vector coding technique evaluated coordination patterns. Results indicated that while trunk-knee coordination remained unaffected by fatigue, significant changes were observed in the hip-knee coordination within the transversal plane post-fatigue. These findings highlight the need for customized training that considers possible joint changes caused by fatigue.
