Title: | The isometric and isokinetic knee extension and flexion muscle strength profile of elite soccer players | Authors: | KEYTSMAN, Charly VERBRUGGHE, Jonas OP 'T EIJNDE, Bert |
Issue Date: | 2024 | Publisher: | BMC | Source: | BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 16 (1) (Art N° 180) | Abstract: | BackgroundThis study aimed to further complete normative data sets for the strength profile of the thigh in soccer players by performing isometric and isokinetic measurements in a large sample per player position.MethodsIn total, 364 soccer players were divided into subgroups according to their pitch position. All players performed isometric and isokinetic strength measurements during active competition period using an isokinetic dynamometer (System 3, Biodex (R), ENRAF-NONIUS, New York, USA).ResultsIsokinetic strength of m. Quadriceps was significantly (p = 0.023) higher in strikers compared to central midfielders in both the dominant (+ 9%) and the non-dominant (+ 4%) leg. No further differences were found in isometric or isokinetic strength per playing positions.ConclusionsWe have shown that strength profiles do not differ between playing positions on the field. This is valuable information for elite soccer high performance coaches and medical staffs aiming to improve daily training efficiency and rehabilitation of their players. | Notes: | Keytsman, C (corresponding author), Hasselt Univ, BIOMED Biomed Res Inst, Fac Med & Life Sci, SMRC Sports Med Res Ctr, Diepenbeek, Belgium.; Keytsman, C (corresponding author), Jessa Hosp, Heart Ctr Hasselt, Prins Bisschopssingel 36-2, B-3500 Hasselt, Belgium. charly.keytsman@jessazh.be |
