In this study, a correlation between isokinetic testing of the knee and the vertical jump and single leg jump in collegiate division 1 football players was investigated. The medical records of 68 athletes were selected for this study. Correlations and two-tailed regressions were run. Data was analyzed with raw numbers as well as allometrically scaled numbers. Correlation analysis is revealed time to peak torque (TPT60) in both the right and left hamstrings at 60°/sec was significant in the vertical jump (VJ). At 180°/sec, power in the left leg (P180-LQ and P180-LH), peak torque in the left quadriceps (PT180-LQ), and left …
