AB  - OBJECTIVES: To compare traditional and angle-specific isokinetic strength of 
      eccentric knee flexors and concentric knee extensors in female senior 
      professional and youth soccer players. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study design. 
      SETTING: University's Laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 34 players (17 seniors 
      [age 25.31 +/- 4.51 years; height 167.89 +/- 7.04 cm; mass 63.12 +/- 7.79 kg] and 17 
      youths [16.91 +/- 1.16 years; height 165.92 +/- 4.42 cm; mass 60.07 +/- 4.48 kg]) from 
      the Women's Super League 1 completed strength assessments at 180, 270 and 
      60 degrees ∙s(-1). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Peak torque (PT), dynamic control ratio (DCR), 
      angle of peak torque (APT), functional range (FR), angle-specific torque (AST) 
      and angle-specific DCR (DCR(AST)) were compared between age groups. RESULTS: The 
      PT (P = 0.016) AST (P = 0.041) were significantly higher in seniors compared to 
      youths; however APT (P = 0.141), DCR (P = 0.524) FR (P = 0.821) and DCR(AST) 
      (P = 0.053) were not significant between playing age. CONCLUSION: The use of 
      absolute and angle-specific strength measures were able to distinguish between 
      female playing ages, whereas DCR and DCR(AST) was unable to identify differences. 
      The PT and AST metrics may be the most useful metrics to help identify and inform 
      training needs, particularly in youths.
