Table 2 Mean (± 1SD) peak values during the landing phase of the drop landing for vertical ground reaction force and hip and knee frontal and transverse plane joint kinetics data

From: Does lower extremity alignment during normal stance predict lower limb kinematics and kinetics during drop landings?
