1. The three quarter-top basketball shoe that was tested
allowed participants to actively resist significantly larger
external moments at 0° and 16° of ankle plantar flexion
than the low-top basketball shoes.
2. The inversion moments that individuals were able to
actively resist were the greatest at 32° of ankle plantar
flexion and decreased with decreasing ankle plantar flexion.
Significant differences were observed between 0° and
16° and between 0° and 32° of ankle plantar flexion.
3. The eversion moments that individuals were able to
actively resist were the greatest at 0° of ankle plantar flexion
and decreased with increasing ankle plantar flexion.
Significant differences were observed between 0° and 32°
of ankle plantar flexion.
4. There were no significant correlations among unipedal
ankle strength, isokinetic ankle strength, isokinetic
time to peak torque, physical activity level, and calf
circumference.
