  • Comparison of plyometric training using differential learning versus nonlinear pedagogy on functional, biomechanical factors in athletes at high risk of A. C. L. injury: protocol for aparallel-group randomized controlled trial
    Majid Hamoongard, Malihe Hadadnezhad, Hassan Sadeghi, Mehdi Khaleghi Tazji, Anne Benjaminse
    Trials, 2026
    BACKGROUND: The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures is notably high among young athletes participating in ball sports. Injury prevention strategies have recently emphasized the integration of multidimensional training with motor learning approaches. Emerging evidence suggests that integrating movement variability effectively reduces modifiable risk factors for ACL injuries. This study aimed to compare the effects of integrating plyometric training with either non-linear pedagogy (NLP) or differential learning (DL) on functional performance and biomechanical risk factors in athletes at high risk of ACL injury. METHODS: This single-assessor blind randomized controlled trial will include 48 male athletes (aged 18-26 years) identified as being at high risk for ACL injury. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of three groups: (1) NLP combined with plyometric training (n = 16; 24 intervention sessions over 8 weeks, three sessions per week); (2) DL combined with plyometric training (n = 16; 24 intervention sessions over 8 weeks, three sessions per week); or (3) a control group. outcome assessors will be blinded to their group allocation. The primary outcomes will include kinematic and kinetic variables, while secondary outcomes will assess functional performance. All outcomes will be measured at baseline and following the 8-week intervention period. DISCUSSION: This protocol can be an effective and innovative injury prevention strategy for athletes at high risk of an ACL injury. Designed for practical application in both clinical and field settings, the protocol incorporates plyometric exercises performed under variable conditions. Physiotherapists, athletic trainers, coaches, and return-to-sport specialists can implement it to mitigate the risk of injury. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was prospectively registered with the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) on March 15, 2025, under the identifier IRCT20210602051477N3 ( https://www.irct.ir/trial/69146 ).

    Bioengineering, 2026
    Aim: This study examined how load size and symmetry affect trunk muscle activation patterns, vertical ground reaction forces, and estimated lumbar spine compression during overground walking in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and those without symptoms. Methods: Thirty male participants (15 with CLBP, 15 controls; ages 23–28 years) performed walking tests under four load conditions: symmetric and asymmetric carriage at 10% and 20% of body weight. Bilateral surface electromyography measured activation from seven trunk muscles (rectus abdominis, external oblique, internal oblique, latissimus dorsi, lumbar erector spinae, multifidus) and the thoracolumbar fascia region, normalized to maximum voluntary isometric contractions (%MVIC). Force plates recorded vertical ground reaction forces synchronized with heel-strike events. A repeated-measures ANOVA with Bonferroni corrections was used to analyze the effects of load configuration and magnitude. Results: Asymmetric loading at 20% body weight caused significantly higher peak vertical ground reaction forces compared to symmetric loading (mean difference = 47.3 N, p < 0.001), with a significant interaction between load magnitude and configuration (p = 0.004, ηp2 = 0.26). Participants with CLBP showed consistently higher trunk muscle activation throughout the gait cycle (peak: 37% MVIC vs. 30% MVIC in controls; p < 0.001, d = 1.68), with maximum recruitment at shorter muscle lengths and 24% less activation at optimal length (95% CI: 18.2–29.8%). The lumbar erector spinae and multifidus muscles exhibited the highest activation during asymmetric 20% loading in CLBP participants (0.282 and 0.263%MVIC, respectively), indicating compensatory neuromuscular strategies. Conclusion: Asymmetric load carriage creates disproportionately high mechanical and neuromuscular demands, effects that are greatly amplified in individuals with CLBP. These findings support rehabilitation strategies that improve load distribution and restore motor control, thereby reducing compensatory strain and enhancing trunk stability.

    BMC Women S Health, 2025
    BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the effect of the menstrual cycle on the coordination variability of the lower-limb joints during the taekwondo roundhouse kick in professional athletes. METHODS: Twenty professional taekwondo female athletes voluntarily participated in the study. The participants visited a laboratory thrice during their menstrual cycles' follicular, ovulation, and luteal phases. The lower-extremity kinematic data were collected during the roundhouse kick. Range of motion (ROM) and coordination variability of the lower-extremity joints in sagittal plane were calculated and compared for different menstrual cycles. FINDINGS: The results did not show significant differences in the ROM of the joints for the different menstrual cycles. Moreover, the results of a vector analysis using the repeated measures ANOVA did not show significant differences in joint coordination patterns and variability for different menstrual cycles. However, there were fluctuations in the coordination variability during the ovulation phase in the hip-ankle coupling, but this was not statistically significant. INTERPRETATION: The results suggest that female taekwondo players must be cautious of training during the ovulation phases of their menstrual cycles. However, more research is needed to better understand the effect of menstrual cycle on the coordination patterns of joints and segments.
  • Comparative effects of dual-task training versus combined exercise training in water and on land on patients with multiple sclerosis: A study protocol of a randomised factorial trial
    Sahar Nazary Soltan Ahmad, Seyed Sadredin Shojaedin, Mehdi Khaleghi Tazji
    BMJ Open, 2025
    IntroductionPeople with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) experience cognitive and motor impairments, including cognitive training and exercise training. This study compares dual task and combined exercise training in water and on land. Water-based training may enhance cognitive and motor function more effectively than land-based training, presenting a promising intervention for PwMS. We explore dual-task training (DTT), including cognitive and motor exercise, with combined exercise in water and on land on the cognition, balance and gait PwMS.Methods and analysisThis is a double-blind 3*2*2 factorial randomised trial. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of six groups: four intervention groups and two control groups. All patients will receive supervised 12-week training sessions, two times per week, and will be assessed by a blinded outcome assessor before and at the end of the 12-week programme. The primary outcome includes the Symbol Digit Modalities Test. The secondary outcomes involve the California Verbal Learning Test-II, the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test—Revised, kinetics and kinematics throughout the balance and gait cycle. All the data will be analysed by a blinded data analyst.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval was granted by the Sports Science Research Institute (No. IR.SSRC.REC.1401.082). The results of the trial will be submitted for publication in journals and distributed to PwMS and physiotherapists.Trial registration numberThe trial is prospectively registered on 22 March 2024, athttps://www.umin.ac.jp/with an identification number (UMIN000053947).
  • Unanticipated side cutting alters lower limb kinematic and kinetic variables in futsal athletes
    Mohammad Aziminia, Ali Abbasi, Samira Sadat Sajjadi, Gholamhossein Nazemzadegan, Mehdi Khaleghi Tazji
    Acta Gymnica, 2025
    Background: Numerous studies have examined the risk of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries during fast sports activities involving cutting maneuvers. However, these studies often focus on isolated measurements. A critical factor influencing this risk is the anticipation of the cutting movement. Objective: This study aimed to compare the kinematic and kinetic variables of the lower limb during anticipated and unanticipated side cutting maneuvers in futsal athletes. Methods: Eighteen male futsal players participated in this study. The angle of the dominant lower limb joints, the peak vertical ground reaction force, rate of loading, and knee joint moment were calculated during the stance phase. Results: The results of the paired sample t-test showed that the hip joint range of motion (ROM) in the frontal plane was significantly reduced in the unanticipated compared to anticipated side cutting (p = .040). The frontal plane's mean ROM and peak knee joint valgus were significantly higher in the unanticipated conditions (p = .048, p = .031). In the sagittal plane, the ankle joint ROM during unanticipated side cutting was significantly reduced (p = .018). Knee joint moments were significantly greater for unanticipated side cutting in the transverse plane (p = .037). Conclusions: This study highlighted the role of ankle joint in absorbing the force and reducing the rate of loading and showed that the unanticipated side cutting altered the lower limb joint kinematics and kinetics which are associated with ACL risk factors.

  • Comparison of Symmetry in EMG Activity of Selected Muscles in Response to Increased External Load during Walking in Individuals with and without Chronic Low Back Pain
    Raheleh Tajik, Mehdi Khaleghi Tazji, Hamed Fadaei, Raghad Mimar
    2024 31st National and 9th International Iranian Conference on Biomedical Engineering Icbme 2024, 2024
    This study aimed to compare the symmetry of electromyography (EMG) activity of selected muscles in response to increased external load in individuals with and without chronic low back pain (CLBP) during walking. To this end, 30 men (15 healthy and 15 with CLBP) aged 23 to 28 years were purposefully selected. Participants walked on a 20 -meter track under different loading conditions (no load, 10% body weight in one hand, $10 \%$ body weight in both hands, $20 \%$ body weight in one hand, and $20 \%$ body weight in both hands). EMG activity was recorded from 14 lumbosacral and abdominal muscles on both the left and right sides of the body. The results showed that external loading significantly affected the symmetry of muscle activity, with more pronounced effects in individuals with CLBP. Significant statistical differences in the symmetry of the right and left abdominal muscles and the external and internal oblique muscles between the groups under various loading conditions were observed. Additionally, the back muscles (latissimus dorsi, thoracolumbar fascia, lumbar spinalis, and multifidus) also exhibited significant asymmetry under different loading conditions. These findings suggest that even relatively light loads can disrupt the balance of activation in core stabilizing muscles, especially in individuals with CLBP. The reduced symmetry in the studied muscles may be due to changes in motor control strategies and compensatory mechanisms to avoid pain. These asymmetries may lead to an increased risk of injury and exacerbation of CLBP symptoms. The study’s findings have important implications for rehabilitation programs and ergonomic recommendations. Future research should explore the relationship between specific muscle asymmetries and pain levels or functional outcomes in individuals with CLBP.
  • The effects of the Posterior X Taping versus augmented feedback on lower-extremity kinematic and muscle activity pattern during unilateral weight-bearing activities in men with tibiofemoral varus malalignment
    Mohamadreza Hatefi, Malihe Hadadnezhad, Sadredin Shojaedin, Farideh Babakhani, Mehdi Khaleghi Tazji
    Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2023
    PurposeTibiofemoral Varus Malalignment (TFRV) contributes to overuse injuries by altering lower limb biomechanics. Both Posterior X Taping (PXT) and Real Time Feedback (RTF), have each been recommended for subjects with TFRV as they are thought to enhance control of excessive tibiofemoral rotations. This paper evaluates this claim.MethodsA total of recreational male 24 athletes with TFRV participated in the current study. Kinematic and electromyography variables of lower extremity were synchronously ​recorded on five consecutive repetitions of the single‐legged‐squat (SLS) and forward‐step‐down) FSD) tasks before and after applications of PXT and RTF.ResultsThe subjects at post‐intervention in RTF group exhibited decreased hip adduction during FSD, and decreased hip adduction and internal rotation during eccentric and concentric phases of the SLS; Additionally, we observed increased gluteus medius activity during eccentric phase of the SLS and FSD tasks. In contrast, subjects at the post‐intervention in PXT group exhibited decreased tibiofemoral external rotation and increased ankle external rotation during all the phases of both SLS and FSD tasks.ConclusionThese results suggest that the PXT and RTF interventions are recommended to immediately improve the functional defects of the subjects with TFRV during SLS and FSD tasks.

    Plos One, 2023
    The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of rowing stroke rates on lower extremity intra-joint coordination variability in professional rowers. Fifteen experienced young rowers volunteered to participate in this study. Kinematic data were recorded at different rowing speeds with seven Vicon cameras. The continuous relative phase (CRP) and CRP variability (CRPV) were used to calculate joint coordination and coordination variability, respectively, for the hip, knee, and ankle in the sagittal and horizontal planes, and a comparison was made among different rowing stroke rates. A vector analysis repeated measure ANOVA using statistical parametric mapping revealed that there were statistically significant differences in the hip–ankle, hip–knee, and knee–ankle CRPs for rowing at different stroke rates. Moreover, there was higher CRPV in the mid-drive and mid-recovery phases and less variability in the transition from the drive phase to the recovery phase. The results demonstrate the importance of knee joint in rowing tasks in experienced rowers during submaximal rowing stroke rate and the shift of movement to the hip at higher rowing stroke rate. Moreover, there was a smaller variability during drive-to-recovery transition, which may suggests an increased risk for overuse injuries.

    Sports, 2023
    Core stability is the ability to control the position and motion of the trunk over the pelvis and legs to allow the optimum production and transfer of force to the terminal segment in sporting activities. The effect of fatigue, especially core muscle fatigue, on stiffness as a performance index requires more study. This research aimed to investigate the effect of the core stabilization muscles’ fatigue on lower limb stiffness during hopping. Thirty active basketball players participated in this study (age: 20.90 ± 1.49 years; weight: 60.30 ± 3.10 kg; height: 163.2 ± 5.04 cm). The hopping test (15 jumps) was performed before and after the fatigue protocol in three states including at a preferred (no frequency control), maximum, and 2.2 Hz frequency on the force plate. The stiffness of the lower extremities was measured before and after the fatigue protocol. The results of the dependent t-test showed core muscle fatigue led to reduced lower extremity stiffness under all three hopping-test conditions by 15.3–15.9% (p ≤ 0.005). It seems that core muscle function affects lower extremity stiffness, and can function as a performance index in athletes. Although performed in healthy volunteers, this study may have implications for injury prevention, highlighting the necessity to perform interspersed endurance training using the different body parts of the kinetic chain.
