TL;DR: It is concluded that one to two trials were reliable for strength diagnosis and that one strength measure cannot accurately explain functional performance because other factors, such as body mass, flexibility and leg length, have diverse effects on the statistical models.

TL;DR: Information obtained from a BODYWEIGHT BILATERAL SQUAT SCREEN may assist the strength and conditioning professionals with developing safer more EFFECTIVE STRENGTH-TRAINING PROGRAMS.

TL;DR: Eccentric exercise can increase the optimum lengths of both the knee Extensors and knee extensors flexors during the preseason in professional soccer.

TL;DR: A systematic review of training, maintenance and detraining studies, focusing on the development, retention and decay rates of strength and power measures in elite rugby union, rugby league and American football players, revealed that the quality of future studies can be improved by randomly allocating subjects to training groups, providing greater description and detail of the interventions, and including control groups where possible.

TL;DR: Results suggest that power output and associated variables exhibit a diurnal rhythm, with improved performance in the afternoon, and morning testing may be preferable when practitioners are seeking to conduct regular monitoring of an athlete's performance due to smaller variability.
