Abstract
Purpose
Since the use of normalized isokinetic strength was recently proposed to analyze sportive performance, it was aimed to examine relative isokinetic muscle strength as well as absolute strength in jump performance. Secondly, the investigation of the relationship between extremity-based and inter-extremity strength asymmetry and selected jump tasks was aimed.
Methods
Thirty female professional volleyball players (23.70 ± 5.27 years) who has at least four training sessions per week participated to study during the pre-season period Peak torque (PT) of knee flexors and extensors at the speed of 60º/s and 180º/s were evaluated using isokinetic dynamometer. Jump height (cm) and relative power (W/kg) of vertical countermovement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ) were tested by optojump photoelectric system.
Results
A positive moderate correlation between PT and relative PT(rPT) at both speeds with jump height was detected (r = 0.365–0.594). It was found that jump power had a positive moderate to good correlation with PT(r = 0.557–0.731) and low to moderate correlation with rPT (r = 0.314–0.601). No significant correlation was found between hamstring/quadriceps ratio and bilateral muscle asymmetry with jump parameters (p > 0.05).
Conclusions
Due to the relatively low level of relationship between normalized strength and performance, we suggest carrying out further studies examining the effects of normalized parameters on performance. Considering the findings based on strength asymmetry, the coordinated action of the relevant muscles may come to the forefront during the performance, rather than muscle strength.
