Introduction: This paper reviews current research regarding the impact of fatigue and multi-directional
landings on non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (NC-ACL) injury risk in female
athletes. It focuses on knee and hip biomechanical outcomes associated with NC-ACL
injury, covering all three planes of movement. Fatigue is considered to be an NC-ACL
injury risk factor because an athlete appears to be at greatest risk towards the end
of half time, end of the game and end of the season. Focusing on multi-directional
landings moves research closer to sports like ‘high risk’ scenarios.
