A handheld dynamometer was used to measure hamstring and quadriceps muscle strength and the data was recorded from the screen of the device (micro-FET; Hoggan Health Industries, Draper, UT, USA). The hamstring strength measurement was done with the participants in the prone position with the knee in a 90° flexion position, following which they were asked to flex the knee as hard as possible while the researcher held the movement with the handheld dynamometer placed proximal to the medial malleolus on the posterior aspect of the leg. The quadriceps strength measurement was done with the same procedure, but from a sitting position on the edge of the bed with the knee and hip in a 90° flexion position, and the participants were asked to support their back and to extend their knee as hard as possible while the researcher held the movement with the dynamometer placed on the anterior aspect of the leg. The hamstring and quadriceps measure was done by holding the handheld dynamometer for 5 seconds; the test was performed three times, and the mean value was recorded.[1 (link)] All strength values were normalized using the following equation: [(kg force/kg body mass) × 100].[36 (link)]
