简要总结
The purpose of this study will be to determine the effects of a 2-minute single limb lateral step-down fatigue test versus a 30 second side hop test on single limb forward hop distance.
详细描述
Current methods to induce fatigue often incorporate equipment not available in all clinical settings or include tasks that are difficult to standardize. One of the tests to fatigue the leg muscles is the leg extensor fatigue test using a unilateral weight machine. There are drawbacks to this testing including the clinician having access to the equipment, testing only fatigued a single muscle group, and it is less sport/task specific compared to jump testing. Our previous work has incorporated the use of a side hop task that is performed by hopping over two lines 40 cm apart for 30 seconds. While this does induce fatigue and decreases single leg forward hop performance the overall decrease was relatively small (<10 cm). It is likely necessary to induce a greater amount of fatigue; thus further limiting single leg forward hop performance.

研究组 & 干预措施
Exercise: step-down test (2 min)
The 2-minute single limb lateral-step down test will be used to induce lower extremity muscle fatigue. Participants will be instructed to perform a single limb lateral step-down test on a 31 cm box (12-inches), touching their heel to the floor each time as many times as possible in 2 minutes. The number of lateral step-downs will be recorded.
干预措施: Step-Down Test (2 min) (Other)
Exercise: side hop test (30 s)
The 30 second side hop test will be used to induce lower extremity muscle fatigue. Participants will be instructed to jump as many times as possible over two parallel strips of tape placed 40 cm apart, but must initiate approximately 30 degrees of knee flexion each jump. The number of successful jumps performed within 30 seconds will be recorded and used for data analysis. An unsuccessful jump will be defined as touching the tape or the area inside the tape. We will record the number of successful trials.
干预措施: Side hop test (30 s) (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Single limb hop distance (cm)
时间窗: Change from baseline single limb hop distance immediately after fatigue exercise
While standing on one leg participants will be instructed to hop as far forward as possible with a controlled single limb landing.
