AB  - PURPOSE: This study established the relationship between isometric midthigh pull 
      (IMTP) peak force and court-based jumping, sprinting, and change of direction 
      (COD) performance in professional netball players. The change in IMTP peak force 
      in response to sport-specific training was also examined. METHODS: IMTP peak 
      force and court-based jumping, sprinting, and COD were collected in 18 female 
      athletes contracted to a Suncorp Super Netball team. Linear regression models 
      established the relationship between absolute and normalized strength values and 
      court-based performance measures in the participant cohort. Changes in IMTP peak 
      force and court-based performance measures were examined following 2 consecutive 
      preseason training blocks in a subset of participants. RESULTS: The IMTP peak 
      force values normalized to body mass were found to be determinants of court-based 
      jumping, sprinting, and COD performance in the participant cohort (R2 = .34-.65, 
      P </= .016). The participants showed increases in absolute (mean +/- SE = 398 +/- 
      68.5 N, P < .001, Hedge g = 0.70 [-0.05 to 1.35]) and normalized IMTP peak force 
      (mean +/- SE = 4.6 +/- 0.78 N.kg-1, P < .001, Hedge g = 0.47 [-0.04 to 0.97]) over 2 
      consecutive training blocks that coincided with improvements in jumping, 
      sprinting, and COD performances. CONCLUSION: IMTP peak force is a determinant of 
      court-based jumping, sprinting, and COD performance and is sensitive to training 
      in professional netball players. These results support the utility of the IMTP 
      test to monitor the development and maintenance of maximal lower body muscular 
      strength in these athletes.
