    Cognitive processes significantly influence athletic movements, particularly in tasks requiring rapid decision-making and direction changes.

  • 2

    Impaired cognitive abilities in individuals post-ACLR can adversely affect motor planning, coordination, and reaction times.

  • 3

    The study investigates cognitive performance and biomechanical characteristics in ACLR individuals compared to controls during drop-jump tasks.

  • 4

    Significant differences in knee angular impulse and cognitive functions are hypothesized between ACLR and control groups.

  • 5

    Understanding the relationship between cognitive function and biomechanics post-ACLR may enhance rehabilitation strategies and performance protocols.
