Title:	FATIGUE RELATED GENDER DIFFERENCES IN THE BIOMECHANICS OF DROP JUMPS
Author:	Bide, Pralhad S.
Description:	The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of gender and fatigue on knee kinematic and kinetic variables during the counter movement and drop jumps with specific interest on the progressive changes on knee kinematics and kinetics through out the fatigue protocol. Miami University students were recruited as study participants (n=52). Participants performed two baseline drop jumps and then were subjected to fatigue protocol for three different times. In between the fatigue protocols and at the end again they performed drop jumps. The kinetic and kinematic variables were recorded using force platform and the video cameras with SIMI motion analysis system respectively. Results indicated that with fatigue there were no changes in landing angles and in the force around the knee joint. They showed the decreased flexion at the knee joint with the progression of fatigue. Gender differences with the fatigue are also discussed.
