Lower limb dynamic balance, strength, explosive power, agility, and injuries in volleyball players

Based on these findings, It is recommended that interlimb asymmetry in the anterior reach direction of the Y Balance Test be considered as one of the indicators for potential non-contact lower limb injuries among elite male volleyball players. The lower limb muscle strength of the hip, knee, and ankle joints and power and agility are associated with lower limb dynamic balance capabilities. Additionally, dynamic balance may contribute to overall physical performance. Targeted strength training for unilateral muscles and incorporating various explosive exercise modes may support athletic performance and reduce the risk of sports-related injuries.
