Kinematic

Cutting tasks with a 45° or 110° direction change

Pre-planned

For 45° cut, principal component (r = 0.26) interpreted as maintaining a low centre of mass during the concentric phase, shorter ground contact time, resisting reduction in lateral centre of mass to ankle and knee distance in the eccentric phase and using a faster and large extension of hip and knee. For 110° cut, first principal component (r = 0.66) was related to maintaining a low centre of mass during the concentric phase, using a shorter ground contact time, resisting a reduction in lateral centre of mass to ankle and knee distance in the eccentric phase, and resisting hip flexion the using hip extension. The second principal component (r = 0.27) was related to leaning in the direction of the cut
