Comparison of mechanical energy transfer during right-forward lunge between female amateur and professional badminton players

It seems that altered lunge landing biomechanics may increase the risk of ankle and knee injuries and muscular damages in amateur athletes. It is recommended for amateur players to follow a injury prevention training program that promotes proper lunging technique.
