POSTER ABSTRACTS - THURSDAY, 21 MAY 2015P08TESTING - PART IP08.01Relationships between isokinetc knee strength and jump performance in amateur soccerplayersCemal Polat, E AkdoganAnadolu University, Department of Coach Training in Sports, Eskisehir, TurkeyIt is thought that jump performance and isokinetic knee strength parameters are related. Thepurpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between isokinetic strength of knee andvertical jump. Twenty-one healthy young male soccer players (Age: 22.55±2.7years, height:175.0±3cm, body weight: 72.69±6.7kg,) voluntarily participated in this study. Squat Jump (SJ), andCounter Movement Jump (CMJ) test were performed. Bilateral concentric isokinetic strength of theknee extensors/flexors was evaluated at 60◦/s. Relationships between isokinetc knee strength andjump performance parameters were analyzed with Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Probability levelwas >0.05. The results of this study showed that CMJ height had a significant and moderaterelationship with the isokinetic knee strength of extension measured at only right knee 60◦/s(r=0.439*, p
