PG - 1-11 LID - 10.1080/14763141.2022.2131614 [doi] AB - The aims of this study were to determine the associations and differences between the traditional dynamic strength index (DSI(GRF), calculated from ground reaction force [GRF] data) and joint-level dynamic strength indices (DSI(NJM), calculated from net joint moment [NJM] data). Eight female NCAA Division I lacrosse players performed three maximal effort isometric mid-thigh pulls (IMTP) and countermovement jumps (CMJ). GRF and motion capture data were recorded and used to calculate hip, knee, and ankle NJM. The ratio between peak forces during the IMTP and CMJ tests was used to calculate the DSI(GRF) and the ratio of peak NJM was used to calculate ankle, knee, and hip DSI(NJM). Associations and differences between DSI(GRF) and DSI(NJM) were examined with Pearson's correlation coefficients, paired t-tests and Hedge's g effect sizes. The results showed that only the hip DSI(NJM) was correlated with DSI(GRF) (hip: p = 0.037; r = 0.738). In addition, athletes exhibited significantly greater DSI(NJM) than DSI(GRF). Although these results suggest DSI(GRF) are associated with hip DSI(NJM), the fact that joint-level DSI(NJM) were generally greater than DSI(GRF) suggests the ratio between peak NJM during the CMJ and IMTP may not provide intuitive or useful data for strength and conditioning coaches or sport scientists.
