Association between hip and trunk muscle strength and modified single-leg horizontal jump test performance in elite team handball players

Key Points

• Single-leg horizontal jump test performance is influenced by hip strength in elite handball players, highlighting its importance.
• Hip strength partially determines the jump performance differences observed in the non-preferred leg during testing.
• Assessment using a modified single-leg horizontal jump test offers a reliable measure of performance related to hip strength.
• Understanding muscle strength's role in athletic performance may guide targeted training interventions for players.
