Effect of the Perception of Knee Pain on Muscle Strength and Endurance among Elite Female Handball Players

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to examine the effect of knee pain perception on muscle strength and endurance among elite female handball players. Methods included 60 players who participated in training competition from January December 2019. Muscle strength, endurance, hamstring/quadriceps ratio were estimated using Computer Sports Medicine, INC (Cybex, HUMAC, USA). The independent samples t-test was used for inter-group comparison. Pearson’s correlation simple linear regression analyses assess associations variables identify factors affecting perception, respectively. Results No significant differences both flexor extensor muscles, (hamstring/quadriceps ratio) noted between high low groups. However, group significantly lower than that group. Furthermore, found correlate only with ratio). scale reading increased by 1. Moreover, muscles decreased 3.07. Conclusion classified based an average scale, differed These results can aid development rehabilitation exercise programs involved similar sports future.
