Effective Propulsion in Swimming: Grasping the Hydrodynamics of Hand and Arm Movements.

abstract：:One potential ACL injury situation is due to contact with another person or object during the flight phase, thereby causing the person to land improperly. Conversely, athletes often have flight-phase collisions but do land safely. Therefore, to better understand ACL injury causation and methods by which people typical...
