Question

When training for speed, agility, and quickness, the foot and ankle complex should be in which of the following positions when it hits the ground?

a. Internally rotated and plantar flexed
b. Pointing straight ahead and dorsiflexed
c. Externally rotated and dorsiflexed
d. Pointing straight ahead and plantar flexed

Answer 1

b. Pointing straight ahead and dorsiflexed

Step-by-step explanation:

The foot and ankle complex should be pointed straight ahead and dorsiflexed. Dorsiflexion involves bringing the toes closer to the shin, thus reducing the angle between the dorsum of the feet and the leg. At this position, there will not be any damage to the leg.
