Study of Cleat Models on Predisposing Factors for Lateral Ankle Sprains on Third Generation Artificial Grass Field

Finished (2 years: 2016 – 2018)

Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) has a high prevalence lesion in soccer. This project aimed to evaluate the influence of different cleat models on different biomechanical variables related to the risk of ligament injury. The findings obtained contributed to the definition of the safest option from the point of view of health in the sport context.
