The relationships between knee extensors/ flexors strength and balance control in elite male soccer players.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Strength and balance are important factors for soccer players to be successful. This study's aim was to determine the relationship between lower-limb muscle strength and balance control in elite male soccer players (n = 77).

Methods

Concentric isokinetic strength (peak torque of quadriceps (PT-Q) and hamstrings (PT-H), hamstrings/quadriceps (H/Q) ratio) was measured for the dominant and non-dominant leg at angular velocities of 60°s^-1and 240°s^-1, as well as the total work for extensors (TW-Q) and flexors (TW-H) for both legs (at an angular velocity of 240°s^-1only). Balance score (BAL score) was used for unilateral assessment of balance control using a Delos Postural System Test measurement tool. Hierarchical multiple regress
