Relationship between reaction time and onset of the muscle activation during drop landing.

The article presents a study that aims to clarify the relationship between reaction time and the onset of muscle activity during drop landing. It notes that quickness is one of the key factors for athletes in sporting activities wherein it reflects on the speed through the contraction of associated muscles. Findings of the study confirm the correlation between reaction time and the onset of thigh muscle activities, emphasizing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) as the most commonly injured.
