In female badminton players, certain landings are associated with injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). However, the kinematic and kinetic changes of the landing leg and the effects of risky posture on ACL injuries among female vs male badminton players are still unknown. We hypothesized that female players land with a significantly higher knee valgus angle and moment compared to male players during single-leg landings in badminton.
