Abstract

BACKGROUND: Reduced lower extremity muscle strength as well as reduced lower extremity muscle pre-activity (defined as muscular activity just prior to initial ground contact) during high-risk movements are factors related to increased risk of non-contact ACL injury in adolescent female athletes. A strong relationship exists between muscle strength and muscle activity obtained during an isometric contraction, however, whether these two measures are related when muscle activity is obtained during a movement associated with a high risk of non-contact ACL injury is not known. Absence or presence of such a relationship may have implications for which training modalities to choose in the prevention of ACL injuries.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between maximal muscle strength of the hip extensors, hip abductors and knee flexors and the pre-activity of these muscle groups recorded during a sidecutting maneuver (high-risk movement) in adolescent female soccer and handball athletes.

STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.

METHODS: Eighty-five adolescent (age 16.9 ± 1.2 years) female elite handball and soccer athletes were assessed for maximal hip extensor, hip abductor and knee flexor muscle strength; and muscle pre-activity (electromyography recordings over a 10 ms time interval prior to foot ground contact) of the gluteus maximus (Gmax), gluteus medius (Gmed), biceps femoris (BF) and semitendinosus (ST) during a standardized sidecutting maneuver.

RESULTS: The results of the correlation analyses demonstrated poor and statistically non-significant correlations. Maximal hip extensor force (N/kg bw) and Gmax pre-activity [r

CONCLUSION: In the present exploratory study, the results imply that no relationship exists between maximal lower extremity isometric muscle strength and lower extremity muscle pre-activity during sidecutting. This means that athletes with low muscle strength may not necessarily demonstrate high (or low) muscle pre-activity during sidecutting - a well-known risk movement for sustaining non-contact ACL injury.

LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Level 3.

Keywords: Anterior cruciate ligament; electromyography; muscle strength; neuromuscular activity
