The jumping tests and the isokinetic dynamometer evaluations are widely used in sport for the identification of parameters of strength and power development. The understanding of the relationship between these variables may help in the selection of more specific parameters in the assessment of the strength of the knee joint muscles in the isokinetic dynamometer for volleyball players. The objective of this literature review was to summarize studies that analyzed the relationship between the performance of the jumping tests with the capacity of force generation in evaluations of isokinetic dynamometry of knee in volleyball players, besides investigating if the muscle imbalances of the joint of the knee can interfere with the performance of the jumps. The reviewed studies come from the search conducted in PubMed and Scielo databases. We found 106 articles of which 6 articles were used for the final analysis. The ability to generate force in the knee isokinetic dynamometry evaluations is related to the jump performance. Strength imbalances from one limb to another do not seem to interfere with jumping performance. The strength imbalances between the flexors and knee extensors may be related to the functionality of the volleyball players.

Abstract
The jumping tests and the isokinetic dynamometer evaluations are widely used in sport for the identification of parameters of strength and power development. The understanding of the relationship between these variables may help in the selection of more specific parameters in the assessment of the strength of the knee joint muscles in the isokinetic dynamometer for volleyball players. The objective of this literature review was to summarize studies that analyzed the relationship between the performance of the jumping tests with the capacity of force generation in evaluations of isokinetic dynamometry of knee in volleyball players, besides investigating if the muscle imbalances of the joint of the knee can interfere with the performance of the jumps. The reviewed studies come from the search conducted in PubMed and Scielo databases. We found 106 articles of which 6 articles were used for the final analysis. The ability to generate force in the knee isokinetic dynamometry evaluations is related to the jump performance. Strength imbalances from one limb to another do not seem to interfere with jumping performance. The strength imbalances between the flexors and knee extensors may be related to the functionality of the volleyball players.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
