Isokinetic knee flexor, knee extensor and hip extensor outputs were examined at angular velocities ranging 30\u2013300\u00b0\/s, concentric or eccentric, and relative (Nm\/kg) or absolute (Nm) measures. Strength ratios ranged between 30\u00b0\/s and 300\u00b0\/s. Meta-analyses revealed a small, significant predictive effect for absolute (SMD=\u22120.16, P=0.04, 95%\u2009CI \u22120.31 to \u22120.01) and relative (SMD=\u22120.17, P=0.03, 95%\u2009CI \u22120.33 to \u22120.014) eccentric knee flexor strength (60\u00b0\/s). No other testing speed or strength ratio showed statistical association. Best evidence synthesis found over half of all variables had moderate or strong evidence for no association with future hamstring injury.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Summary\/Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Despite an isolated finding for eccentric knee flexor strength at slow speeds, the role and application of isokinetic assessment for predicting hamstring strain risk should be reconsidered, particularly given costs and specialised training required.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2017-098101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,29]],"date-time":"2017-11-29T12:15:58Z","timestamp":1511957758000},"page":"329-336","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":117,"title":["Isokinetic strength assessment offers limited predictive validity for detecting risk of future hamstring strain in sport: a systematic review and meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Brady","family":"Green","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"La Trobe Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew N","family":"Bourne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"La Trobe Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tania","family":"Pizzari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"La Trobe Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025080115000914000_52.5.329.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546512470634"},{"key":"2025080115000914000_52.5.329.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"300","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465010290030801","article-title":"Intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors for muscle strains in Australian football","volume":"29","author":"Orchard","year":"2001","journal-title":"Am J Sports Med"},{"key":"2025080115000914000_52.5.329.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1249\/MSS.0000000000000465"},{"key":"2025080115000914000_52.5.329.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsams.2011.11.250"},{"key":"2025080115000914000_52.5.329.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546515599633"},{"key":"2025080115000914000_52.5.329.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ruddy JD , Pollard CW , Timmins RG , et al .
