PG - 2748-2757 LID - 10.1519/JSC.0000000000002098 [doi] AB - The aim of this study were to compare isometric midthigh pull (IMTP) peak force (PF), time-specific force values (100-, 150-, and 200 ms), rate of force development (RFD) at predetermined time bands (0-100, 0-150, and 0-200 ms) and net forces between 2 commonly adopted hip joint angles (145 degrees [hip145] and 175 degrees [hip175]) with a 145 degrees standardized knee angle. Twenty-eight collegiate athletes (age: 21.7 +/- 1.5 years, height: 1.75 +/- 0.08 m, mass: 81.5 +/- 8.4 kg) performed 2 IMTP trials at each hip joint angle in a randomized counterbalanced order. A subgroup (n = 10) performed the IMTP testing 7 days later to establish the between-session reliability. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and coefficient of variation (CV) demonstrated high within-session reliability and acceptable variability for all IMTP kinetics at each posture (ICC >/= 0.86, CV 0.05, g
