##article.abstract##

This study aimed to investigate the effects of landing height and knee joint muscle fatigue on ankle and knee joint kinematics during cutting after landing. Participants included 29 adults (age = 20.83 ± 1.56 years; height = 172.42 ± 9.51 cm; mass = 65.07 ± 10.18 kg) with no orthopedic history in the lower limb joints in the previous 6 months. The results showed that different landing heights of 30 and 40 cm and 30% fatigue of the peak torque of knee extensor found a forefoot landing and stiff landing strategy, when cutting after landing. These results might be due to a decline in the shock absorption capability of the knee joint and the movement capability related to cutting while increasing the contribution of the ankle joint.
