Inertial One-Leg Squat Training and Drop Jump Biomechanics in Athletes With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction After Return to Sport.

Henderson, FJ and Shimokochi, Y. Inertial one-leg squat training and drop jump biomechanics in athletes with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction after return to sport. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2024-Athletes with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) display altered jumping mechanics persisting long after returning to sport (RTS).

Effects of 8-Week Exhausting Deep Knee Flexion Flywheel Training on Persistent Quadriceps Weakness in Well-Trained Athletes Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Persistent quadriceps weakness after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a common hurdle to efficient rehabilitation. Therefore, we evaluated a new treatment strategy for athletes with ACL reconstruction. Eleven athletes with unilateral ACL reconstruction performed one set of flywheel Bulgarian split squats to exhaustion with a maximum knee extension of 60°, over 16 sessions, on their reconstructed limb.

Quadriceps Function and Athletic Performance in Highly Trained Female Athletes.

Context: Quadriceps strength is considered a key contributor to performance in various athletic tasks. Yet, past research has reported conflicting results based on population, with little data available in highly trained female athletes.

Design: Cross-sectional.
