Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Vertical ground loading rate - Variable description: The rate of increase in vertical ground force during the single-leg landing phase. Timepoint: Before kinesiotape and before fatigue (baseline) - With kinesiotape and before fatigue - Without kinesiotape and after fatigue - With kinesiotape and after fatigue. Method of measurement: Recording the vertical ground force during single-leg landing with a force gauge plate synchronized with the motion analysis system and calculating the force increase rate.;Peak knee external flexion torque - Variable description: The maximum knee joint flexion torque in the sagittal plane during landing. Timepoint: Before kinesiotape and before fatigue (baseline) - With kinesiotape and before fatigue - Without kinesiotape and after fatigue - With kinesiotape and after fatigue. Method of measurement: Calculating knee torque by combining motion and force gauge data in a biomechanical model.;Maximum knee flexion angle - Variable description: The maximum amount of knee joint flexion during the shock absorption phase of landing. Timepoint: Before kinesiotape and before fatigue (baseline) - With kinesiotape and before fatigue - Without kinesiotape and after fatigue - With kinesiotape and after fatigue. Method of measurement: Recording knee angular changes through motion markers and kinematic analysis.;Peak external abductor torque Variable description: Maximum hip abductor torque in the frontal plane during landing. Timepoint: Before kinesiotape and before fatigue (baseline) - With kinesiotape and before fatigue - Without kinesiotape and after fatigue - With kinesiotape and after fatigue. Method of measurement: Calculating hip torque using motion analysis system and force sensor data in a biomechanical model. | — |

| Peak ankle joint torques Variable description: Maximum ankle external dorsiflexion and plantarflexion torque during landing phase. Timepoint: Before kinesiotape and before fatigue (baseline) - With kinesiotape and before fatigue - Without kinesiotape and after fatigue - With kinesiotape and after fatigue. Method of measurement: Calculating ankle torques by combining kinematic and kinetic data in an inverse biomechanical model.;Peak hip torques Variable description: Maximum hip external flexion and extensor torque during landing phase. Timepoint: Before kinesiotape and before fatigue (baseline) - With kinesiotape and before fatigue - Without kinesiotape and after fatigue - With kinesiotape and after fatigue. Method of measurement: Calculating hip moments using inverse dynamic analysis.;Hip angles - Variable description: Maximum hip flexion and abduction angles during landing phase. Timepoint: Before kinesiotape and before fatigue (baseline) - With kinesiotape and before fatigue - Without kinesiotape and after fatigue - With kinesiotape and after fatigue. Method of measurement: Extracting joint angles from kinematic data recorded by motion markers.;Peak vertical ground reaction force - Variable description: The highest amount of vertical ground reaction force during a single-leg landing. Timepoint: Before kinesiotape and before fatigue (baseline) - With kinesiotape and before fatigue - Without kinesiotape and after fatigue - With kinesiotape and after fatigue. Method of measurement: Direct recording of vertical ground force by force gauge plate and normalization to body weight. | — |
