Key Points

The study investigates how different footwear features affect ACL force during jump tasks in young females.
Compared ACL forces under various shoe pitch conditions during a drop-lateral-jump task.
Analyzed time-to-peak force and peak force metrics across footwear variants.
Delayed time-to-peak ACL force observed with a 4mm shoe pitch condition.
No significant differences in peak ACL force across different shoe pitches.

Abstract

Although a delayed time-to-peak ACL force was observed with the 4mm shoe pitch condition, the relatively small temporal differences observed, and the fact that peak ACL force did not differ across pitch variants, suggest that these findings may have few real-world implications.
