Objective: To determine the reliability, measurement error, and construct validity of the Side Hop Test in male children and adolescents.
Design: Intra-and inter-rater reliability and construct validity study.
Settings: Soccer club.
Participants: Thirty-six asymptomatic boys, 10-16 years old.
Main Outcome: The intra and inter-rater reliability of the Side Hop Test were analyzed by Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), Standard Error of Measurement (SEM), and Minimum Detectable Change (MDC). The construct validity of the Side Hop Test in reference to the Single Hop Test, the Standing Long Jump Test, the Shuttle Run, and isometric muscle strength was analyzed.
Results: The intra-rater ICC of the Side Hop Test ranged from 0.63 to 0.67, SEM ranged from 1.2 to 2.5 s, and MDC ranged from 2.8 to 5.7 s. The inter-rater ICC ranged from 0.83 to 0.91, SEM ranged from 0.6 to 0.8 s, and MDC ranged from 1.4 to 1.9 s. The Side Hop Test was significantly correlated (p < 0.05) with the Single Hop Test (r = -0.49) and the Standing Long Jump (r = -0.47).
Conclusion: The results support the use of the Side Hop Test to evaluate children and adolescents. The measurements showed good intra-rater and very good inter-rater reliability.

Influence of Extra-Articular Augmentation on Clinical Outcomes and Survival in Patients Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Pseudorandomized Study.

: Up to 27% of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction cases result in a residual positive pivot shift sign, indicating anteroposterior and rotational instability. This instability can compromise returning to sports and increase the risk of further injuries. The biomechanical role of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in controlling internal knee rotation is well known.

Background: Aquatic training is known for its effective and gentle rehabilitation benefits, but its impact on athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI) remains underexplored. This study compares the effects of water-based and land-based balance training on functional performance, dynamic balance, fear of reinjury, and quality of life in athletes with CAI.
Methods: Forty-one athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI) were randomly assigned to water-based (WBBE, n = 21) or land-based (LBBE, n = 20) balance exercise groups, completing 24 sessions of 30-45 min over 8 weeks.

Objective: To conduct an exploratory systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of unstable surface training on balance and hop function in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI).
Data Sources: Four major electronic databases were searched, including Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, from January 1, 2000 to June 20, 2024.
Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials that compare unstable surface training with either general intervention or no intervention in individuals with CAI were included.
Hopping kinetic differences in masters runners with and without Achilles tendinopathy.

Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is the most common running-related pathology among masters runners. Previous evidence suggests there are no differences in submaximal running biomechanics between masters runners with and without AT. Evidence suggests lower extremity power deficits are common among ageing individuals and those with AT.
