This is burdensome for sports with a high incidence of injuries, such as team handball. Various tests guide decision making, but often the athlete\u2019s preinjury performance of these measures remains unknown. Moreover, objective return-to-sport criteria of a matching population are missing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate objective measures of knee capability in handball depending on players\u2019 age. Two hundred sixty-one handball players performed a functional test battery designed to evaluate knee capability after an anterior cruciate ligament injury: two- and one-legged stability analysis, jumps, speed tests, and agility assessments. For age-specific evaluation, athletes were divided into three age groups (16\u201319; 20\u201329;\u226530 years). Male players showed differences in two and one-legged jumping height (p&lt;0.02) as well as power per body weight (p&lt;0.01) between age groups. Young female players reached better results in two-and one-legged stability. Besides the quick feet test, results of females did not differ between age groups. Functional knee stability in healthy handball players is partly influenced by age, and females show better results in stability and male athletes in power measurements. This aspect should be considered for return to sports testing and underlines the importance of performance measures in athletic testing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1926-0817","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,24]],"date-time":"2022-08-24T23:15:33Z","timestamp":1661382933000},"page":"E60-E68","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Measures of Knee Capability in Handball Players Differ by Age: A Cross Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Constantin","family":"Mayer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics and Traumatology, St Marien-Hospital M\u00fclheim an der Ruhr, M\u00fclheim, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alina","family":"R\u00fchlemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics and Traumatology, University of Duisburg-Essen Faculty of Medicine, Essen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andre","family":"Busch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics and Traumatology, katholische Kliniken Philippusstift Essen, Essen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcus","family":"J\u00e4ger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics and Traumatology, University of Duisburg-Essen Faculty of Medicine, Essen, Germany"},{"name":"Orthopedics and Traumatology, St Marien-Hospital M\u00fclheim an der Ruhr, M\u00fclheim, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1884","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-018-4851-4","article-title":"Increased injury rates after the restructure of Germany\u2019s national second league of team handball","volume":"26","author":"P Luig","year":"2018","journal-title":"Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"141","volume-title":"Handball Injuries: Epidemiology and Injury Characterization: Part 1.
