J Strength Cond Res 32(4): 983-989, 2018-The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of low-pass filtering on isometric midthigh pull (IMTP) kinetics, including body weight (BW), onset threshold force, time-specific force values (50, 100, 150, and 200 ms), and peak force (PF). Forty IMTP trials from 24 collegiate athletes (age: 21.2 +/- 1.8 years, height: 1.72 +/- 0.09 m, mass: 79.4 +/- 8.2 kg) were analyzed and compared using unfiltered (UF) and low-pass filtered (LPF) (fourth-order Butterworth) with cutoff frequencies of 10 (LPF10) and 100 (LPF100) Hz. Significantly lower (p < 0.001, g = -0.43 to -0.99) onset threshold forces were produced when force data were LPF. This led to significant (p < 0.001, g = 0.05-0.21) underestimations of time-specific force values when LPF10 compared with UF, displaying unacceptable percentage differences (1.2-3.3%) and unacceptable limits of agreement (LOA) (-25.4 to 100.3 N). Although significantly different (p
