Group mean wave-forms for kinetic and kinematic variables in the cut. Sagittal angles: ankle dorsiflexion (+)/plantarflexion (−); knee flexion (+)/extension (−); hip flexion (+)/extension (−); pelvis anterior tilt (+)/posterior tilt(−); thorax flexion (+)/thorax extension (−). Frontal angles: ankle eversion (+)/inversion (−); knee varus (+)/valgus (−); hip adduction (+)/abduction (−); pelvis contralateral drop (+)/contralateral lift (−); thorax lateral flexion (+)/ medial flexion (−). Transverse angles: ankle internal rotation (+)/ external rotation(−); knee internal rotation(+)/ external rotation(−); hip internal rotation (+)/ hip external rotation (−); pelvis internal rotation(+)/ external rotation(−); thorax external rotation (+)/internal rotation (−). Sagittal moments: ankle plantarflexion (+)/dorsiflexion (−); knee extension (+)/flexion (−); hip extension (+)/flexion (−). Frontal moments: ankle eversion (+)/inversion (−); knee valgus (+)/varus (−); hip abduction (+)/ adduction (−). Transverse moments: ankle internal rotation (+)/external rotation (−); knee internal rotation (+)/external rotation(−); hip internal rotation(+)/external rotation (−)
