Implication

Cross-sectional study examines the link between knee strength and jump performance in elite male football players, indicating implications for training.

Key Points

This study aims to explore how knee isokinetic strength relates to countermovement jump performance in elite male football players.
24 elite male football players participated in a cross-sectional study.
Countermovement jump height assessed using an optical measurement system (Optojump Next).
Knee extensor and flexor strength measured via isokinetic dynamometer at velocities of 60°/s and 180°/s.
Positive correlations found between CMJ height and knee extensor peak torque at both angular velocities.
At 180°/s, strong relationships observed (r = 0.558-0.642, p ≤ 0.005) compared to 60°/s (r = 0.483-0.500, p < 0.05).
Knee extensor strength at 180°/s accounted for up to 41.2% of the variance in CMJ height.
