Description
This study is a prospective, observational cohort study aimed at establishing a database of normative biomechanics data for healthy athletes. The primary focus is on quantifying muscle strength, movement patterns, and biomechanics in relation to the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, particularly ACL injuries.
