abstract = {Background: The aim of the study was to analyze the relative and absolute
reliability of intra-session comparisons of three repetitions in a protocol for
assessment peak muscle strength in a knee extension and flexion exercise in
competitive female soccer players.
Methods: The participants in this research are professional level female soccer
players. Peak muscle strength was assessed with functional electromechanical
dynamometry (FEMD) for the knee muscles with the following movements: knee
flexion (FLE) and extension (EXT). Each movement was assessed at a speed of
0.4 m·s-1 unilaterally, recording peak muscle strength values in the concentric
phase (CON) and an eccentric phase (ECC).
Results: Null differences (ES < 0.19) were detected in the measurements of
peak muscle strength of the extensors and flexors of the right and left knee in
their concentric or eccentric phases. In the intra-set reliability measures, they
reported acceptable absolute reliability (CV% < 9.71) and extremely high relative
reliability (ICC = 0.92–0.98).
Conclusion: In relation to the results of this study, it can be concluded that
the FEMD presents a high relative and absolute intra-series reliability for the
evaluation of muscle strength in knee extension and flexion in female soccer
players. These reported antecedents may facilitate a more specific evaluation of
the function of the muscles of the lower limbs.},
