Ankle sprains are generally the most common injuries that are frequently experienced by competitive athletes. Ankle sprains, which are the main cause of ankle instability, can impair long-term sports performance and cause chronic ankle instability (CAI). Thus, a comprehensive understanding of the key factors involved in repeated ankle strains is necessary. During jumping and landing, adaptation to the landing force and control of neuromuscular activation is crucial in maintaining ankle stability. Ankle mobility provides a buffer during landing, and peroneus longus activation inhibits ankle inversion; together, they can effectively minimize the risk of ankle inversion injuries. Accordingly, this study recommends that ankle mobility should be enhanced through active and passive stretching and muscle recruitment training of the peroneus longus muscles for landing strategies should be performed to improve proprioception, which would in turn prevent ankle sprain and injury to neighboring joints.
踝关节扭伤通常是竞技运动员最常遭遇的损伤。踝关节扭伤是踝关节不稳定的主要原因，会损害长期运动表现并导致慢性踝关节不稳定（CAI）。因此，有必要全面了解反复踝关节扭伤所涉及的关键因素。在跳跃和着陆过程中，适应着陆力以及控制神经肌肉激活对于维持踝关节稳定性至关重要。踝关节活动度在着陆时起到缓冲作用，而腓骨长肌的激活可抑制踝关节内翻；二者共同作用能有效降低踝关节内翻损伤的风险。据此，本研究建议应通过主动和被动拉伸以及腓骨长肌的肌肉募集训练来增强踝关节活动度，并且应实施着陆策略以改善本体感觉，进而预防踝关节扭伤及邻近关节损伤。
