## 1 Introduction  
Football is the most popular sport in the world, has the largest number of participants, and is associated with a high risk of injury at the professional, amateur, and youth levels during practices and matches [1; 2; 3; 4; 5]. It is estimated that somewhere between 13 and 35 players get injured every 1000 competitive hours. The most common incidence of injuries occurs in the lower limbs, mostly ankle grains [1; 5; 6]. [PERSON] et al. studied injury incidences in the 2010 International Federation of Association Football World Cup. They found that ankle grains were the most prevalent injury in practices or matches [6]. The impacts of ankle grains can be severe and include considerable medical expenses, decreased fitness or endurance levels, and missed matches. Furthermore, a common complication of ankle sprains is chronic ankle instability, which results in episodes of the ankle giving way, recurrent sprains, and persistent symptoms such as pain, swelling, limited motion, weakness, and diminished self-reported function. This includes functional and mechanical impairments in isolation, or both [7]. In order to lower football injury risk, shoe manufacturers have attempted to design different cleat configurations that can handle a variety of field conditions, such as turf or grass. In an early study, researchers reported that decreasing the number of cleats and their size may reduce the risk of knee injury [8]. [PERSON] et al. determined that turf cleats could decrease the pressure and force beneath the forefoot, compared to other types of cleats that might minimize metatarsal injury risk on grass [9]. However, [PERSON] et al. examined the mechanical properties of rotational torsion resistance to explain the relation between turf shoes and surface conditions at five temperatures, suggesting that only flat turf football shoes could lower the sprain risk incidence under all conditions [10]. Adjusting cleat configurations could potentially minimize the risk of injuries such as knee sprains and stress fractures on specific field conditions. However, at present, no clear experimental evidence exists to determine the positive effect of cleat configurations on improved ankle stability or decreased ankle sprains. Increased ankle stability and the prevention of ankle sprains by increasing the shoe collar height have been examined for basketball shoes [11; 12; 13; 14; 15]. High collar basketball shoes exhibit a smaller ankle inversion range of motion (ROM), smaller ankle inversion and external rotation at initial contact, and smaller peak inversion velocity, compared to low collar shoes, but no significant difference in kinetic parameters during side-step cutting are observed [11; 12]. During jumping tasks, research has revealed that ankle joints show a smaller peak plantar flexion moment and power when wearing basketball shoes with high collars, compared to low collars [13]. According to other research, high collar basketball shoes result in delayed pre-activation timing and decreased amplitude of muscle activity [14]. Therefore, high collar basketball shoes are one factor used to reduce injury potential [16]. Based on the experience with basketball shoes, similar footwear technology has been implemented in football shoes in an attempt to mitigate injury risk. Researchers have observed the ankle inversion between high and low collar football shoes using an inversion platform, which can be rotated 35\({}^{\circ}\) to induce a sudden ankle inversion [17]. This research has indicated that high collar shoes significantly reduce the amount and rate of inversion. Additionally, using an arthrometer foot plate, researchers have found that high collar shoes are more effective in decreasing inversion ROM and velocity [18]. However, the research method employed in these previous studies does not accurately portray real-world practices and matches when only the ankle inversion is available.
