ABSTRACT
One of the approaches to evaluate injury prediction is the hamstrings-to-quadriceps peak torque conventional ratio (HQ ratio). The gold standard for assessment of muscle strength in vivo is by isokinetic dynamometry; however, the one-repetition maximum strength test (1-RM) presents high correlation with isokinetic data. This study aimed to compare measures of HQ ratio in young adults obtained by dynamometry and 1-RM testing. No significant differences were observed in the HQ ratio when comparing 1-RM and dynamometry testing. However, there was a significant and strong correlation between the measurements obtained in the two tests. Despite this correlation, data from both tests are not equal as the HQ ratio obtained from 1-RM test presents a systematic error. Nonetheless, the results can enhance the applicability of 1-RM test in clinical settings
