Lower limb asymmetry in mechanical muscle function: A comparison between ski racers with and without ACL reconstruction

Due to a high incidence of anterior cruciate ligament ( ACL ) re‐injury in alpine ski racers, this study aims to assess functional asymmetry in the countermovement jump ( CMJ ), squat jump ( SJ ), and leg muscle mass in elite ski racers with and without anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction ( ACL ‐ R ). Elite alpine skiers with ACL ‐ R ( n = 9; 26.2 ± 11.8 months post‐op) and uninjured skiers ( n = 9) participated in neuromuscular screening....
