Gender and age related differences in leg stiffness and reactive strength in adolescent team sports players

Original language description

The aim of the study was to identify potential gender differences in leg stiffness (LS) and reactive strength during hopping tasks in 13 to16-year old team sports players. Reactive strength index (RSI) and LS were obtained in two consecutive seasons from 51 girls and 65 boys. A significant main effect on absolute and relative LS for gender was found in both groups with values higher in boys than in girls. For absolute and relative LS gender differences in the U14 group were significant in the 1st year, and for the U16s in the 2nd year. For RSI, a significant main effect for gender was observed in the U16 group only with values significantly higher in boys than in girls in both years of measurement. Results of this study support previous limited findings, mostly related to non-athletes, suggesting lower stretch-shortening cycle capability in adolescence female, however only partly support the theory that quality of neuromuscular functions increases with age until post puberty.
