HQR = concentric hamstring strength to concentric quadriceps strength ratio; LSI-D/ND = limb symmetry index calculated as ((value dominant leg)/(value non-dominant leg))*100%; MIVC/BW = maximum isometric voluntary contraction normalised to body weight; PT = peak torque; PT/BW = peak torque normalized to body weight; TW = total work.
