Summary

This study evaluates the effect of different surfaces on the load experienced by the knee when landing from a single leg hop. A sand, pliable grass and firm (hard floor) surface will be compared when hopping from a 30 cm height. Each subject will complete 5 hops on each surface in a random order. The muscle activity in selected muscles of the lower limb will also be investigated to see how this differs in the landing leg, when landing on the different surfaces.
