Quadriceps assessment in professional soccer players.
Clinical examination of the knee involves eliciting certain signs that may indicate the presence of knee pathology. One such is quadriceps wasting. This occurs most commonly as the result of disuse or from a painful or unstable lesion of the knee. Comparing the circumference of the thighs at a set level above the patella is the standard method of testing for atrophy. 1 2 This, however, assumes ...
متن کاملRapid hamstrings/quadriceps strength capacity in professional soccer players with different conventional isokinetic muscle strength ratios.
Muscle strength imbalance can be an important factor in hamstrings muscle strain. A hamstrings/quadriceps (H/Q) strength ratio based on concentric peak torque values (Hcon:Qcon) has traditionally been used to describe the potential for knee-joint destabilization. Because certain standard actions in soccer are explosive, the analysis of the H/Q strength ratio based on the rate of torque developm...
متن کاملA physiological evaluation of professional soccer players.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physiological functions of a professional soccer team in the North American Soccer League (NASL). Eighteen players were evaluated on cardiorespiratory function, endurance performance, body composition, blood chemistry, and motor fitness measures near the end of their competitive season. The following means were observed: age, 26 yrs; height, 176 cm;...
متن کاملPredicting the Potential of Professional Soccer Players
Projecting how a player’s skill level will evolve in the future is a crucial problem faced by sports teams. Traditionally, player projections have been evaluated by human scouts, who are subjective and may suffer from biases. More recently, there has been interest in automated projection systems such as the PECOTA system for baseball and the CARMELO system for basketball. In this paper, we pres...
متن کاملHamstrings strength imbalance in professional football (soccer) players in Australia.
The aim of this study was to describe the isokinetic thigh muscle strength profile of professional male football players in Australia. Concentric (60° and 240°·s(-1)) and eccentric (30° and 120°·s(-1)) hamstrings and quadriceps isokinetic strength was measured with a HUMAC NORM dynamometer. The primary variables were bilateral concentric and eccentric hamstring and quadriceps peak torque ratios...
