Role of the penultimate foot contact during change of direction : implications on performance and risk of injury (2019)
Journal Article
Dos'Santos, A., Thomas, C., Comfort, P., & Jones, P. (2019). Role of the penultimate foot contact during change of direction : implications on performance and risk of injury. Strength and Conditioning Journal, 41(1), 87-104. https://doi.org/10.1519/SSC.0000000000000395

Most change of direction biomechanical investigations and current technique guidelines focus on the role of the final foot contact (plant foot contact). However, it is evident that the braking characteristics during the penultimate foot contact pla...
