Sex-Specific Patterns of Force Plate-Derived Predictors for Vertical Jump Performance and Algorithmic Musculoskeletal Injury Risk in College Athletes

Multivariate force-time profiling offers practical value for identifying athletes whose high-output movement strategies may elevate injury risk when braking control is insufficient. Because proprietary, algorithmically derived risk metrics show inconsistent associations with underlying mechanics, further independent validation is needed before such scores are used in clinical or training decisions.
