Measurements included concentric\/eccentric hamstring and concentric quadriceps strength (60\u00b0\/s, 240\u00b0\/s). Conventional, functional hamstring\u2010to\u2010quadriceps (H\/Q) ratios and limb symmetry indices (LSI) were calculated. Group differences were assessed using linear mixed models (Group\u2009\u00d7\u2009Limb interactions), and prospective injury risk was evaluated using multivariable generalised estimating equations (GEE), accounting for multi\u2010season participation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 70 noncontact injuries were recorded (anterior cruciate ligament [ACL]:\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200911; meniscus\/collateral ligament:\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200920; ankle:\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200921; muscle:\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200918). Linear Mixed Models revealed significant Group\u2009\u00d7\u2009Limb interactions for hamstring strength and H\/Q\u2010ratio parameters, most pronounced in the knee and muscle\u2010injury subgroups. In GEE analysis, a lower conventional H\/Q ratio was associated with a higher injury risk across the overall cohort (aOR: 0.78; 95% CI: 0.62\u20130.98;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.03) and muscle injuries specifically (aOR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.45\u20130.92;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.04). A history of previous ACL injury was independently associated with an increased risk of subsequent ACL rupture (aOR: 1.73; 95% CI: 1.02\u20134.70;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.05). Higher baseline quadriceps strength showed a nonsignificant trend towards increased muscle\u2010injury risk (aOR: 1.60; 95% CI: 0.96\u20132.67;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.08).
