Biomechanics and Sports Injury Prevention | Dr Alasdair Dempsey

Lecture 1 of the Sports Biomechanics Lecture Series #SportsBiomLS
Alasdair Dempsey covers the biomechanics behind anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury mechanisms in sports, with reference to underlying mechanical principles such as moments and moment arms. He also discusses the evidence behind potential intervention strategies to prevent / reduce risk of ACL injuries in sports.
