Observational analysis reveals significant H/Q ratio differences in football, cricket, and tennis, indicating potential injury risks.

This research examines isokinetic strength differences in quadriceps and hamstrings across sports.
Observational, cross-sectional study design
Participants: 66 semi-professional athletes aged 18-40
Sports involved: Football, Cricket, and Tennis
Isokinetic strength assessed using ISOMOVE device
H/Q ratio calculated by comparing quadriceps and hamstring strength
Significant strength differences observed among sports (Football p<0.001, Cricket p=0.006, Tennis p=0.003)
Highest mean H/Q ratio found in Football (0.51±0.07)
Cricket and Tennis had lower H/Q ratios (0.48±0.08 and 0.42±0.05 respectively)
Results suggest tailored injury prevention training for semi-professional athletes across sports.

Bhatt et al. (2025) studied this question.
