Relationships between unilateral muscle strength qualities and change of direction in adolescent team-sport athletes (2018)
Journal Article
Thomas, C., Dos'Santos, T., Comfort, P., & Jones, P. (2018). Relationships between unilateral muscle strength qualities and change of direction in adolescent team-sport athletes. Sports, 6(3), 83. https://doi.org/10.3390/sports6030083

Previous studies have reported an association between global measures of bilateral strength and change of direction (COD) ability. Yet, little is known about the association between unilateral muscle strength qualities and COD ability. The aim of thi...

Changes of direction (CODs) are key manoeuvres linked to decisive moments in sport and are also key actions associated with lower limb injuries. During sport athletes perform a diverse range of CODs, from various approach velocities and angles, thus...
