| Abstract | Muscle strength imbalances have been linked with poor agility performance and higher injury risk. Isokinetic dynamometry has been used to investigate such imbalances; however, this method is impractical and inaccessible for most strength and conditioning coaches. The aim of the study was to compare isokinetic dynamometry with functional field tests for assessing bilateral strength imbalance. Thirteen male athletes from various sports (mean+/-SD: age 21+/-1.1 years, height 179.8+/-7.0 cm, body mass 80.8+/-9.7 kg) participated in the study. Knee flexor and extensor strength at 60 degrees.s(-1) was assessed for both limbs with the use of isokinetic dynamometry. Field tests involved seated unilateral leg press, horizontal hop, single-leg vertical and drop jumps. Significant differences (p<0.01) were found when comparing strength dominant (D) and nondominant (ND) limbs for all strength measures, ranging from 4.5% (hop test) to 12.4% (eccentric extension). No significant differences between the right and left limbs were found (p>0.05). No significant relationships between strength D/ND ratios of isokinetic variables and the field tests were evident (p>0.05). The findings provide support for the use of field tests to detect imbalances between lower limbs, but the ultimate choice of test used should depend on the specific strength quality that predominates in the sport. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
