Ankle Dorsiflexion and Landing Forces in Jumping Athletes (ptinquest.libsyn.com)

• Significant negative correlation between ankle dorsiflexion and landing forces
• Limited dorsiflexion linked to higher impact forces
• Implications for injury prevention in jumping athletes

"A study by Martinez et al. in Sports Health examined the association between ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and landing forces in jumping athletes. Results showed that limited dorsiflexion correlated with higher impact forces during landing, potentially increasing injury risk. The findings suggest incorporating dorsiflexion mobility exercises into injury prevention programs."
