“…The THTD is the symmetry test with lower reproducibility, with poor reproducibility in the right leg (ICC 0.48 and CV 8.5%), but good in the left (ICC 0.76 and CV 8.7%). This contrasts with the excellent reproducibility found in university students of different sports, both collective and individual sports, with ICC 0.95 (0.92-0.97) [51]. The low reproducibility of the right leg could be again because of the dominance of RH, which makes the left leg the more stable, as this is the take-off limb with which the players of this sample preferably perform the attack jump hitting the ball with their right hand, which is consistent with the findings of Loturco et al [52].…”

The development of lateral asymmetries in athletes could have an influence on performance or injuries. The aim of this study was to determine the within-day reliability of the symmetry tests and the performance tests, and explore the relationship between them. Eighteen male volleyball players (18.1 ± 2.1 years) participated in this study. Seven lateral symmetry assessments were used, namely: lateral symmetry through tensiomyography (LS), active knee extension (AKE), Y-balance test (YBT), muscular electrical activity in attack jump (MEA-AJ), single-leg squat jump (SLSJ), triple hop test for distance (THTD), and bilateral maximum repetition in leg press (1RMSL); and three volleyball performance tests, namely: the T-test, counter-movement jump (CMJ), and attack jump (AJ). Three in-day measurements were taken from each volleyball player after the recovery was completed. The reliability was calculated through the intraclass correlation coefficient and the coefficient of variation, and the relationship was calculated through Pearson’s bivariate correlation coefficient (p < 0.05). The results indicate that AKE, YBT, and LS are the symmetry tests with increased reproducibility. THTD correlates positively with the AKE test and 1RMSL test, and a greater symmetry in the YBT correlates with a greater performance in the CMJ and AJ performance tests. In conclusion, AKE, LS, and YBT are the best tests to determine, with reliability, the asymmetries in volleyball players, and a greater symmetry in the YBT seems to influence the height of bilateral vertical jump.

“…Single-leg hop performance was measured bilaterally using 4 separate hop tasks: single hop for distance, triple hop for distance, crossover hop for distance, and 6-m timed hop ( Figure 1 ), similar to previously recorded methods. 12 , 24 Each participant was given as many warm-up trials as needed until he or she felt comfortable completing the task. Testing always started with the uninvolved limb, and 3 trials were measured bilaterally for all 4 hopping tasks.…”

Background:After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), relationships between objective measures of muscle function and patient-reported outcomes may change over time. Examining these measures at different time frames after surgery may help develop individualized approaches to improve post-ALCR analysis.Purpose:To examine the associations between subjective knee function and lower-extremity muscle function in individual patients at various time points after ACLR.Study Design:Descriptive laboratory study.Methods:Fifty-one participants who underwent primary, unilateral ACLR (15 males, 36 females; mean age, 22.9 ± 4.5 years; mean height, 172.4 ± 10.1 cm; mean weight, 68.7 ± 13.1 kg) were separated into 3 groups depending on time since surgery (early, <2 years; middle, 2-5 years; late, >5 years). Subjective knee function was quantified using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective knee form and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Isometric knee extension and flexion strength were collected at 90 deg/s. Single-leg hop performance was measured using the single hop, triple hop, cross-over hop, and 6-m timed hop. Coefficient correlations were calculated between subjective knee function and objective measures of muscle function for each group.Results:The early group demonstrated moderate correlations between the KOOS and unilateral measures of flexion peak torque (r = 0.514, P = .035) and flexion power (r = 0.54, P = .027). The middle group demonstrated the strongest correlations between the KOOS and symmetry measures of the single hop (r = 0.69, P = .002) and extension work (r = 0.71, P = .002) as well as unilateral measures of the triple hop (r = 0.52, P = .034) and extension work (r = 0.66, P = .004). The late group demonstrated strong correlations between the 6-m timed hop symmetry and the IKDC (r = 0.716, P = .001) and KOOS (r = 0.71, P = .001).Conclusion:Patients with a post-ACLR status of less than 2 years exhibited stronger relationships with unilateral strength measures to subjective function; graft type was found to change these relationships. Patients at 2 to 5 years postsurgery demonstrated relationships with both unilateral and symmetry measures of muscle function to subjective function. Patients who were more than 5 years after ACLR exhibited strong associations between hopping symmetry and subjective function.Clinical Relevance:Future clinical guidelines for patients after ACLR may need to consider time since surgery as a potential factor.

“…Gustavsson et al 41 concluded that the one leg hop test for distance can discriminate between the injured and uninjured leg in patients with ACL injury. Furthermore, Haitzet al 45 studied normal values for the one leg hop test for distance as well as for the square hop test, and they did not find a side-to-side leg difference. In view of the published normative data the choice of cut off in the present study, 10 cm of side difference is not too small in order to determine a real side difference.…”
