When it comes to having all of the positions covered‚ court volleyball is superior; with six people on the court‚ it is much

    Lower Extremity Biomechanics During the Landing of a Stop-Jump Task The purpose of this journal article was to compare the kinematics of the lower body to the force that occurs during a stop-jump motion‚ the motion when an individual stops quickly and then jumps vertically. This motion can be seen below in Figure 1. The article found that large hip and knee flexion angles and initial foot contact with the ground do not have an effect on the impact forces during the landing of the jump. However
