Assessment of Loaded Squat Jump Height With a Free-Weight Barbell and Smith Machine: Comparison of the Takeoff Velocity and Flight Time Procedures.
Alejandro Pérez-Castilla,John J. McMahon,Paul Comfort,Amador García-Ramos,Amador García-Ramos +4 more
TL;DR: The use of a Smith machine in conjunction with the FT more accurately determine jump height during the loaded squat jump exercise, with increasing differences in favour of the TOV procedure for the trials with lower jump height.
The Role of Eccentric Strength in 180° Turns in Female Soccer Players.
Paul A. Jones,Christopher Thomas,Thomas Dos'Santos,John J. McMahon,Philip Graham-Smith +4 more

TL;DR: Greater ECC-STR is associated with faster COD performance in female soccer players, as stronger players are better able to decelerate during penultimate contact from faster approach velocities.
Effect of knee and trunk angle on kinetic variables during the isometric midthigh pull: test-retest reliability.
TL;DR: The isometric midthigh pull (IMTP) has been used to monitor changes in force, maximum rate of force development (mRFD), and impulse, with performance in this task being associated withperformance in athletic tasks.
Unilateral vs. bilateral hamstring strength assessments : comparing reliability and inter-limb asymmetries in female soccer players
Matthew Cuthbert,Matthew Cuthbert,Paul Comfort,Paul Comfort,Paul Comfort,Nicholas J Ripley,John J. McMahon,Martin Evans,Chris Bishop +8 more
TL;DR: Being the most reliable within- and between-Sessions, demonstrating substantial agreement in asymmetry between-sessions, the NHE would be most appropriate to identify inter-limb asymmetry and assess chronic changes in hamstring strength.
Relationships between lower body muscle structure and isometric mid-thigh pull peak force
John J. McMahon,Jordan T. Stapley,Timothy J. Suchomel,Paul Comfort +3 more

TL;DR: The VL muscle thickness of male collegiate athletes’ dominant leg is largely correlated to their bilateral absolute IMTP peak force capacity (demonstrating 38% shared variance), and Practitioners should develop hypertrophy ofmale collegiate athletes' VL musculature through appropriately designed strength training programs.
