A simple on-field fast knee-flexion test to assess acute knee flexor fatigue
The proposed FKF test is reliable and can easily be executed to evaluate acute knee flexor muscle fatigue on the field. The presented relations between (changes in) sprint performance and peak knee angular accelerations during isolated fast knee flexions are promising but need confirmation in larger-scaled studies.
