Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objective To investigate the relationship between gluteus medius strength and static, dynamic balance, horizontal and vertical jump performance.
Design Prospective field trial study.
Setting: Elite women handball players in Turkish Handball Super League. Patients (or Participants): Forty-two elite women handball players from Turkish Handball Super League were included in this study.
Interventions (or assessment of risk factors) The Lafayette Hand-Held Dynamometer was used to determine the strength of the gluteus medius. Single leg hop (SLH) test was used for horizontal jump and Lafayette Vertimetric device was used for vertical jump (VJ) evaluation. Y Balance Test (YBT) was used for the dynamic balance with direction of anterior, posteriomedial, posteriolateral and Standing Stork Test (SST) with eyes closed for the measurement of static balance.
Main outcome measurements Gluteus medius strength with hand dynamometer compared with YBT, SST, VJ and SLH tests.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Muscle strength
GMed strength was assessed with the use of a Lafayette Manual Muscle Tester (Lafayette Instruments; Lafayette, Indiana, USA).
No interventions assigned to this group
Horizontal Jumping Performance
Lower extremity horizontal jumping was measured using the single leg hop (SLH) test as previously described
No interventions assigned to this group
Vertical Jumping Performance
To measure the single-leg vertical jump (SLVJ), the participants stood on the ground with their foot flat distributing their weight evenly on both feet.
No interventions assigned to this group
Dynamic Balance
The Y-Balance Test (YBT) was used to dynamic balance
No interventions assigned to this group
Static Balance
The Stork balance test (SBT) was used to measure static balance performance
No interventions assigned to this group
