Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science, University of Toledo, Exercise Science.
An athlete is required to adapt to different situations throughout participation such as not knowing which direction they will be running, judging the actions of their opponents, catching or throwing a ball, and listening to the people around them. We investigated the effects of anticipation and dual tasking on trunk and lower extremity kinematics during a side step cutting maneuver in 32 healthy active males. Participants were directed with a green light to cut to the right or left either before they started running, anticipated cut, or right before they made the cut, unanticipated cut. While making the cut the participant also had to focus on possibly catching a ball meaning the ball was either faked or thrown to the participant. Our results did not indicate there was a significant effect of anticipation on a task. However, when the ball was either faked or thrown regardless of anticipation there was a decrease in lateral trunk flexion towards the stance leg at peak knee flexion and toe off. There was also an increase in trunk rotation at initial contact, peak knee flexion, and toe off when the ball was thrown. Overall, anticipation or dual tasking did not affect lower extremity kinematics.
