abstract = {Change of directions (COD) involves multidirectional and complex actions, with
performance influenced by multiple factors. As lower limb strength is one of the
most determinant of COD performance, the present study aimed to (a) explore the
differences in strength outcomes across different lower limb muscle actions between
faster and slower basketball players in COD actions at different angles and
(b) analyse the relationship between isometric, concentric and eccentric strength
outcomes and COD performance at different cutting angles. Twenty‐five basketball
players (44% female) completed a battery of tests, encompassing isokinetic and
isometric squat strength assessments, along with COD tests at 45°, 90° and 180°.
Players were categorised as ‘low‐performance’ and ‘high‐performance’ groups based
on execution time in COD, facilitating a comparison between performance groups.
Results indicated that concentric strength showed the greatest differences between
performance groups at 45° COD (effect size ≥ 0.813; p ≤ 0.034). Isometric and
eccentric strength demonstrated a moderate‐to‐large relationship with 90° COD
performance (Rho ≥ 0.394; p ≤ 0.045), and all muscle actions exhibited a large
relationship with 180° COD (Rho ≥ 0.445; p ≤ 0.030). Moreover, the fastest players
showed higher levels of concentric strength relative to eccentric strength, regardless
of the cutting angle. These findings hold practical applications, suggesting that
basketball coaches should train a specific kind of muscle action depending on the
individual players' COD demands, focusing on improving the rapid eccentric force
application while striving to reduce the eccentric/concentric ratio.},
