Evaluating the Functionality of a Field-Based Test Battery for the Identification of Risk for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: An Exploratory Factor Analysis by Charis Tsarbou, Nikolaos I. Liveris, Sofia A. Xergia, George Papageorgiou, Vasileios Sideris, Giannis Giakas, Elias Tsepis

“…(1) Background: A parsimonious test battery is deemed necessary to efficiently assess the functional performance of athletes avoiding redundant measurements. This study investigates the interrelationships between elements of an experimental field-based test battery during pre-season assessment (PA), with the purpose of enhancing comprehension of the underlying structure of the assessed variables and suggesting guidelines for the tests incorporated in a PA. (2) Methods: Sixty-two professional football athletes performed a PA, including isometric muscle strength, triple hop and core stability tests, the LESS, and evaluation of landing performance through kinetic and electromyographic data. (3) Results: For the dominant lower limb, the factor analysis resulted in six factors, explaining 79.04% of the variance including core stability, ground reaction forces, dynamic balance, hamstrings strength, quadriceps–hamstring EMG ratio, and quadriceps performance. …”
