Effect of foot strike patterns and angles on the biomechanics of side-step cutting
The FFS pattern can better protect the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and improve the flexibility of athletes by increasing the plantarflexion torque of the ankle. The injury risk also increases with the larger cutting angle. The EMG activities of semitendinosus and biceps femoris are vital for the stability of knee joint during side-step cutting, which helps reduce ACL stress during buffering.
