Effect of sex, leg dominance, and task on knee cartilage and anterior cruciate ligament biomechanics during single-leg landings-a pilot study

Key Points

• Single-leg landings impact knee cartilage and anterior cruciate ligament biomechanics differently based on sex.
• Differences in biomechanics were observed, particularly with leg dominance affecting outcomes significantly.
• Observational analysis focused on the biomechanics during single-leg landings, taking into account sex differences and leg dominance.
• Findings may highlight the need for tailored interventions in athletic training to protect knee joint health.
