- The study reviews key factors influencing bench press performance in both non-disabled and Paralympic powerlifting athletes to enhance talent identification and transfer methods.
- Systematic searches in multiple databases led to the inclusion of 32 studies that analyzed various features like anthropometric, body composition, and demographic characteristics related to the one-repetition maximum (1RM) in bench press.
- Results indicated that upper arm circumference and fat-free mass were strongly correlated with 1RM performance, highlighting the need for more rigorous and transparent research practices in future studies.

Previous work investigating the relationship between static LEA during normal stance and risk factors for ACL injury is limited by the use of imprecise methods or because it focuses on knee valgus only and no other potentially important variables. The aim of this investigation was to determine the relationships between static LEA and the corresponding LEA during drop landings.
