A Adductor and B abductor hip muscle strength testing positions. A hand-held dynamometer was used for testing and placed 5 cm proximal to either the A medial malleolus or B lateral malleolus. Players were allowed to stabilise themselves with their non-test leg and both hands holding onto plinth. Three break tests were performed, and the highest result was used (except when the highest value was > 10% higher than the next highest value, the second highest value was used)
