Abstract in brief

  • The study found strong correlations between peak force in the isometric midthigh pull (IMTP) and basketball-specific performance tests like counter movement jumps and long jumps, indicating that IMTP is a good predictor of these explosive movements.
  • Moderate to large relationships were also observed between IMTP measures (particularly normalized peak force and impulse at 100-250ms) and sprint times, especially at short distances (5 and 10 meters), suggesting IMTP can help evaluate speed and quickness in young basketball players.
  • Overall, the findings suggest that the IMTP test can effectively assess the maximal and rapid force capabilities essential for basketball skills such as jumping and sprinting, making it a valuable tool for athlete performance evaluation and training.]
