Summary

This study looked at how well young handball players can adjust their sense of balance (proprioception) during sudden movements. Researchers measured knee forces in 41 athletes aged 15-25 during jumps and side-step cuts. The goal was to understand if poor balance adjustment increases the risk of ACL knee injuries. No treatment was given—only measurements were taken.
