Completed
Conditions
Fatigue
Landing Biomechanics
Registration Number
NCT04674007
Lead Sponsor
University Ghent
Brief Summary

In this study, three-dimensional biomechanics , by means of lower limb joint angles and moments (opto-electronic system with synchronised force plate), of landing tasks (anticipated, unanticipated and cognitive dual task) before and after a mental fatigue protocol will be compared in a population of basketball, handball and volleyball players.
