Abstract
This study explores the differences in jump strategy and strength characteristics between athletes who do and do not achieve adequate symmetry in single-leg countermovement jump (SLCMJ) performance following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR). Including 372 male athletes recovering from primary ACL injuries, the study utilizes independent sample t-tests and regression models to analyze strength and key jump variables. Our findings reveal key differences in knee extensor strength and jump metrics for the involved limb despite no differences in uninvolved limb jump height. These results highlight the significance of SLCMJ testing in ACL rehabilitation, providing valuable insights into patient functional status. This approach can be instrumental in developing targeted rehabilitation strategies, thereby enhancing recovery outcomes post-ACLR.
