Implication

Randomized trial examines strength and jump performance in amateur athletes post ACL reconstruction, indicating notable differences based on limb and gender.

Key Points

To examine the strength and vertical jump performance of amateur athletes post ACL reconstruction.
53 amateur athletes assessed for strength and vertical jump performance using 5RM box squat, RFESS, leg extension, and various jumps.
Comparisons made between ACL reconstructed limb and uninvolved limb across different metrics.
Main effects of gender and graft type assessed on strength and jump outcomes.
Relative 5RM values were 1.16 for box squat, 0.6 for RFESS, and 0.65 for leg extension.
ACL reconstructed limb showed significantly lower strength and jump performance compared to the uninvolved limb.
Males outperformed females across all strength and jump metrics.
