THE EFFECT OF CORRECTIVE EXERCISES ON Q ANGLE AND JUMP-LANDING MECHANICS

Turkey (Türkiye)23 participantsStarted 2023-02-20

Plain-language summary

This study examines the effects of an 8-week structured corrective exercise program on Q angle and jump-landing mechanics (evaluated via the Landing Error Scoring System - LESS) in competitive young female volleyball players during their in-season period. Twenty-three athletes were assigned to either an experimental group receiving corrective exercises or a control group maintaining standard training. The primary goal is to determine if targeted biomechanical corrections can improve knee alignment and movement quality to mitigate injury risks.
