Analysis of the adductors and abductors' maximum isometric strength on the level of speed and agility in basketball players

Introduction: his study investigated the relationship between hip abductor strength (Abd), adductor (Add), straight accelerations and decelerations, during changes of direction (COD 90°) performance in basketball players. Material Methods: Fourteen players participated (age = 23.6 ± 4.4 years, body mass 86.3 5.9 kg, height 192.3 6.2 cm, training experience 6.7 2.6 years). Straight running results with a change have been described as time (s) obtained for given length. Following tests were carried out: maximum isometric test, 20-m linear sprint COD 90° angles. warm-up, all athletes performed two maximal sprints, interspersed 5 min rest intervals. participants provided interval before completing tests. Additionally, balance dominant non-dominant Abd-Add muscles evaluated. Two attempts one-minute intervals performed. Results: The t-test revealed statistically significant higher absolute relative AddR (adductor right) comparison to AddL left). Conclusion: this show that force muscle group effect on changing running. Moreover, Abd Add are typical bilateral imbalances. Therefore, evaluation development these qualities essential coaches monitor prescribe adequate regimens.
