Effects of second-generation and indoor sports surfaces on knee joint kinetics and kinematics during 45 ° and 180° cutting manoeuvres, and exploration using statistical parametric mapping and Bayesian analyses

ConclusionsThis study indicates that the indoor surface may improve change of direction performance owing to enhanced friction at the shoe--surface interface but augment the risk from patellar tendon/patellofemoral injuries, whereas the 2G condition may enhance the risk from ACL pathologies.
