Abstract
Objective
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the mean peak moment (MPM) of knee flexors and extensors could predict performance in a group of healthy individuals.
Methods
Eighty-four healthy individuals—32 men and 52 women (mean age, 22.1 ± 3 years; range, 18-35 years)—participated in this study. Isokinetic unilateral concentric knee flexor and extensor MPM was assessed isokinetically at angular velocities of 60°/s and 180°/s. Functional performance was assessed using the single hop of distance (SHD).
Results
Positive moderate to good statistically significant correlations (r = .636 to r = .673) were found between knee flexor and extensor MPM at 60°/s and 180°/s for the SHD test. Knee flexor and extensor MPMs are strong predictors for the SHD test at 60°/s and 180°/s (R2 = .40 to R2 = .45).
Conclusion
Knee flexor and extensor strength was substantially correlated with SHD.
