Abstract

Previous literature indicates that male volleyball players with knee pain have lower quadriceps strength and higher hamstring/quadriceps-ratios (Chantrelle et al., 2022). This has not been investigated in females volleyball players yet. 24 women (71.8 ± 7.6 kg; 1.76± 0.6 m; 24 ± 3.5 years, 11 healthy/13 with chronic knee pain) were examined. The maximum strength and power of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles and their ratio in isokinetic measurement (90°/second) were determined using the ISOMED2000. Maximal quadriceps strength and power in isokinetic measurements is significantly lower in affected legs (p
