Key result
Isokinetic strength ratios (mixed <0.8, ipsilateral <0.47, and bilateral <0.85) were predictive of hamstring injury in professional soccer players during the competitive season.
Why the study?
Previous studies investigating the ability of isokinetic strength ratios to predict hamstring injuries in soccer players have reported conflicting results.

Do isokinetic measurements predict hamstring injury in professional soccer players?
Isokinetic ratios measured at the beginning of the season can help predict the likelihood and severity of hamstring injuries in professional soccer players.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Certain isokinetic ratios may support preseason hamstring injury risk screening in soccer players; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
Dauty et al. (2019) conducted a case-control in Hamstring injury (n=136). Isokinetic strength ratios vs. Uninjured players was evaluated on Hamstring injury during the season. Isokinetic strength ratios (mixed <0.8, ipsilateral <0.47, and bilateral <0.85) were predictive of hamstring injury in professional soccer players during the competitive season.
