Data underlying the research on the effect of a visual dual task on single-leg countermovement jump in lower-limb injured professional soccer players

The study examined motor automation and the attentional demands associated with performing a single-leg countermovement jump (SLCMJ) combined with a dual-task in high-level soccer players. The goal was to assess how the dual-task affected neuromotor control and SLCMJ performance. Participants performed single-leg countermovement jumps (SLCMJ) on the injured leg while muscle activation, kinematics, and kinetic data were recorded. Tests were done with and without a dual-task, where players declared aloud the color on a pod 3m away. Three injury groups (chondral, muscle, ACL) and a healthy control group followed the same protocol.
