Table 1.
Average NEMG from static loading.
Table 2.
NEMG from thigh muscles during pre- and post-loading landing conditions.
Fig 3.
Average NEMG at 200ms prior to and at landing.
Mean (sd) average NEMG from pre and post-loading landing conditions for rectus femoris (RF), vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis (VM), biceps femoris (BF), and semimembranous (SM) muscle groups. NEMG activity is provided in 50ms intervals during the first 200ms of landing. NEMG values are also provided 200ms and 100 ms prior to the landing.

Joint ranges of motion.
Fig 4.
Mean (sd) maximal vertical ground reaction forces measured at 50 ms intervals from initial landing to 200ms during each condition (pre and post). * indicates significant difference between each 50ms time interval (p < 0.001).
