About this listen
We're back talking about "Relative values of maximal isometric strength in lower limbs across different sports disciplines in high-performance athletes" an article published in Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research in 2025. The title and a quick skim brought our hopes up: having more normative values for the major muscle actions of the lower extremity would be nice. But our hopes came crashing down when we got to the methods. Measuring force:bodyweight not torque:bodyweight, different sports being analyzed as the same group, and not stabilizing during in-line dynamometry are some of the major crimes of the paper. Listen to the episode to hear our various rants!
