Cut
For the cut movement participants used an approach velocity of 4.0 m.s-1 ±5% and struck the
force platform with their right (dominant) limb (Sinclair et al., 2015). Participants were
required change direction to the opposite side at a 45° angle. As with the run movement participants commenced their movement a minimum of 20 feet away from the force platform.
In accordance with McLean et al., (2004) cut angles were measured from the centre of the
force plate and the corresponding line of movement was delineated using masking tape so
that it was clearly evident to participants. The stance phase of the cut-movement was
similarly defined as the duration over > 20 N of vertical force was applied to the force
platform.
