Females Demonstrate Reduced Vertical Ground Reaction Forces following a 4-week Jump-Landing Feedback Intervention without Negatively Affecting Vertical Jump Performance University of Toledo, Musculoskeletal Health and Movement Science Laboratory.
Journal of Sport Rehabilitation 2018 October 10
CONTEXT:: High vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) when initiating ground contact during jump-landing is one biomechanical factor that may increase risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury. Intervention programs have been developed to decrease vGRF to reduce injury risk, yet generating high forces is still critical for performing dynamic activities such as a vertical jump task.
OBJECTIVE:: To evaluate if a jump-landing feedback intervention, cueing a decrease in vGRF, would impair vertical jump performance in a separate task (Vertmax ).
DESIGN:: Randomized controlled trial.
PATIENTS (OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS):: Forty-eight recreationally-active females (feedback: n=31, 19.63±1.54 years, 1.63±0.08cm, 58.13±7.84kg; control: n=15, 19.6±1.68 years, 1.64±0.05cm, 60.11±8.36kg) participated in this study.
INTERVENTION:: Peak vGRF during a jump-landing and Vertmax were recorded at baseline and 4-weeks post. The feedback group participated in 12 sessions over the 4-week period consisting of feedback provided for 6 sets of 6 jumps off a 30cm box. The control group was instructed to return to the lab 28 days following the baseline measurements.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:: Change scores (post-baseline) were calculated for peak vGRF and Vertmax . Group differences were evaluated for peak vGRF and Vertmax using a Mann-Whitney U test (P<0.05).
RESULTS:: There were no significant differences between groups at baseline (p>0.05). The feedback group (-0.5±0.3N/kg) demonstrated a greater decrease in vGRF compared to the control group (0.01±0.3N/kg) (t(46)=-5.52, p<0.001). There were no significant differences in change in Vertmax between groups (feedback=0.9±2.2cm, Control=0.06±2.1cm; t(46)=0.46, p=0.643).
CONCLUSIONS:: While the feedback intervention was effective in decreasing vGRF when landing from a jump, these participants did not demonstrate changes in vertical jump performance when assessed during a different task. Practitioners should consider implementing feedback intervention programs to reduce peak vGRF, without worry of diminished vertical jump performance.
