Jones, PA and Bampouras, TM. A comparison of isokinetic and functional methods of assessing bilateral strength imbalance. J Strength Cond Res 24 (6): 1553-1558, 2010-Muscle strength imbalances have been linked with poor agility performance and higher injury risk. Isokinetic dynamometry has been used to investigate such imbalances; however, this method is impractical and inaccessible for most strength and conditioning coaches. The aim of the study was to compare isokinetic dynamometry with functional field tests for assessing bilateral strength imbalance. Thirteen male athletes from various sports (mean±SD: age 21±1.1 years, height 179.8±7.0 cm, body mass 80.8±9.7 kg) participated in the study. Knee flexor and extensor strength at 60· s− 1 was assessed for both limbs with the use of isokinetic dynamometry. Field tests involved seated unilateral leg press, horizontal hop, single-leg vertical and drop …
