What is the purpose of this research study?2.) How were athletes selected for the “Functional Instability” group?3.) A force platform was used to collect GRF data from cutting maneuvers but what GRF variables were the researchers examining in this study?4.) Which research group had the highest initial peak vertical GRF and how long did it take to reach this value (see Table 1)?5.) What were two major limitations of this study? 6.)
