This study examined prelanding knee kinematics and landing ground reaction forces (GRFs) during single-leg and double-leg landings in males and females. Participants performed landings with the dominant leg or both legs while kinematic and GRF data were collected. Single-leg landings demonstrated less time between prelanding minimal knee flexion and initial ground contact, decreased prelanding and early-landing knee flexion angles and velocities, and increased peak vertical and posterior GRFs compared with double-leg landings. Increased prelanding knee flexion velocities and knee flexion excursion correlated with decreased peak posterior GRFs during both double-leg and single-leg landings. No significant differences were observed between males and females. Prelanding knee kinematics may contribute to the increased risk of ACL injuries in single-leg landings compared with double-leg landings. Future studies are encouraged to incorporate prelanding knee mechanics to understand ACL injury mechanisms and predict future ACL injury risks. Studies of the feasibility of increasing prelanding knee flexion are needed to understand the potential role of prelanding kinematics in decreasing ACL injury risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/jab.2022-0147","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,17]],"date-time":"2023-01-17T10:57:57Z","timestamp":1673953077000},"page":"34-41","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Prelanding Knee Kinematics and Landing Kinetics During Single-Leg and Double-Leg Landings in Male and Female Recreational Athletes"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Ling","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Kinesiology and Health, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Kinesiology and Health, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maddy","family":"Jenkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Kinesiology and Health, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1871-5886","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Boyi","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Kinesiology and Health, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"16","key":"r1","series-title":"J Sports Sci","first-page":"1516","article-title":"Mechanisms of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in elite women\u2019s netball: a systematic video analysis","volume":"34","author":"Stuelcken MC","year":"2016","unstructured":"Stuelcken MC, Mellifont DB, Gorman AD, Sayers MG.
