Objective: To determine if functional performance tests are valid indicators of hip and thigh strength.
Design: Descriptive laboratory study.
Setting: Research laboratory.
Patients or Other Participants: Sixty-two recreationally athletic men (n = 30, age = 21.07 years, height = 173.84 cm, mass = 81.47 kg) and women (n = 32, age = 21.03 years, height = 168.77 cm, mass = 68.22 kg) participants were recruited.
