The article "Ankle Biomechanics during four landing techniques‚" written by Brian P. Self and Daniel Paine is based on a study trying to reveal new ankle injury prevention during landings in a variety of sports. By performing a series of landing tests‚ the goal is to learn how to prevent ankle injuries in sports through knowledge and understanding of proper landing techniques. Four landing conditions from 30.48 cm in height were tested. The landings include: the natural landing where the participant

is one of the most imperative forms of locomotion within human beings and is a fundamental component in every land-based sporting activity (Burkett 2010). Running biomechanics research provides imperative data and information about injury prevention‚ injury treatment and movement safety (Knudson 2007). The study of running biomechanics is essential in order to provide analysable data which illustrates the potential risk of injury of an inadequate running technique. Considering Newton’s third law

Playing the sport definitely built up my upper arm and leg muscle and helped me make friends and communicate better as a team. I had
