Effects of Nontraditional Division III Lacrosse Participation on Movement Pattern Quality and Dynamic Postural Control

CONCLUSIONS: A 5-week season may not change overall movement pattern quality of men's or women's lacrosse players, but some individual movement scores diminished. Athletes may overestimate self-reported movement pattern quality and are therefore unlikely to individually address movement deficits. Male dynamic postural control may change throughout a season, resulting in a potential increased risk of injury later in the season due to compensatory patterns or changes in mobility, proprioception, or balance.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3b.PMID:38576829 | PMC:PMC10987307 | DOI:10.26603/001c.115423
