Public defence of doctoral thesis | Biomechanics of lower limb loading during high force and sports related movements by Jonas Enqvist, Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences |...

Jonas Enqvist’s findings in his dissertation Biomechanics of lower limb loading during high force and sports related movements suggest that baseline testing is crucial in sports and that jump tests are reliable, accurate, and feasible to include in such assessments. Lower limb stiffness should be analysed during these tests, alongside asymmetries in stiffness and force. Symmetry should be considered a universal goal, as even minor asymmetries can have significant consequences for joint loading.
