Frequency and distribution of cutting maneuvers among female college ultimate frisbee players

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
Ultimate frisbee players have a high rate of lower limb injury¶ such as ACL tears. We studied the prevalence of high-risk¶ cutting maneuvers in women’s collegiate ultimate players¶ during competition using lower-body wearable motion¶ sensors. Cutting frequency ranged from to 19 cuts per point.¶ Sharp cuts (greater than 120° change of direction) were more¶ prevalent than shallow cuts. Average speed of cutting was¶ greater than 3 m/s. These statistics quantify in-game¶ movement characteristics that can be used to structure¶ laboratory studies of injury risk.
