AB  - Sommerfield, LM, Harrison, CB, Whatman, CS, and Maulder, PS. Relationship between 
      strength, athletic performance, and movement skill in adolescent girls. J 
      Strength Cond Res 36(3): 674-679, 2022-Muscular strength in youth has been linked 
      to health and physical benefits, enhanced movement skill, and an active lifestyle 
      in adulthood. However, the relationship between maximum strength, athletic 
      performance, and movement skill in youth females remains unclear. The purpose was 
      to examine the relationship between maximum strength, athletic performance, and 
      movement skill and determine whether differences exist between strong girls 
      (SGs), average girls (AGs), and weak girls (WGs). One hundred four girls (age 
      14.0 +/- 0.6 years, height 162.6 +/- 5.9 cm, body mass 57.3 +/- 9.7 cm) from a girls' 
      secondary school performed an isometric midthigh pull (IMTP), double- and 
      single-leg (right leg = R, left leg = L) countermovement jump, 10- and 20-m 
      sprints, a drop vertical jump ,and the back squat assessment. Significance was 
      set at p < 0.01 for correlations and p < 0.05 for one-way analysis of variance. 
      Correlations revealed IMTP had significant small to large relationships with all 
      performance variables (r = 0.27-0.62) except right-leg countermovement jump and 
      left-leg countermovement jump height (r = 0.17-0.23). Relative IMTP had 
      significant moderate to large relationships with all performance variables (r = 
      0.32-0.60). There were significant differences between strength groups for all 
      performance measures. Strong girls had significantly faster sprint times than 
      AGs. In addition, SGs and AGs performed significantly better than WGs in all 
      assessments. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of strength for 
      athletic performance and movement skill in adolescent girls.
