Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is the standard surgical treatment for ACL injury, which typically uses a graft to replace the torn ligament in the knee that uses small incisions with minimally invasive surgery. The optimal knee functions following ACLR depend on rehabilitation processes before and after the surgery. Knee function is the ability of the knee to perform various types of functional movements like walking, squatting, running, jumping, and pivoting where patients expect to achieve maximum knee function or at least more than 80% of its initial condition before the injury to avoid being categorized as poor knee function after ACLR. Patients use patient-reported outcome measures to collect data on their health status and quality of life after ACLR. Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a type of OA that manifests in local cartilage injury caused by chondrocyte death, and matrix dispersion occurs following a joint injury like ACL injury. Gender, time from injury to surgery, and graft type were considered as risk factors for poor knee function after ACLR, while overweight, meniscus tear, and cartilage defect as risk factors for PTOA. However, age is an internal risk factor for both poor knee function and PTOA following ACLR. This review suggests several strategies to prevent both conditions, including a pre-operative program, comprehensive rehabilitation, body weight control, and return to sport (RTS) consideration based on physical capacity, proper time, and psychological readiness.

“…Physical testing in competitive sports is rare, so it is necessary to evaluate physical testing tools for the athlete selection process. Physical condition is the most important capital in any game besides technical ability (Fares et al, 2022;Pezoa-Fuentes et al, 2023;Zhang, 2021). The physical component is used as a systematic and planned evaluation to make decisions based on measurements and assessments (Chen & Zhu, 2022;Robinson, 2023).…”

“…The results show that karate athletes have tall bodies, long arm spans, low body fat, mesomorphic bodies, good aerobic capacity, excellent muscular strength and high flexibility. This may include aspects such as speed, strength, agility and endurance, all of which are important elements in karate (Fares et al, 2022;Smith et al, 2021;Wilcock et al, 2021). By understanding more about these factors, coaches can develop more targeted and adaptive training strategies to improve junior athletes' performance in Kumite competition.…”

Background Problems: The lack of instruments suited to the unique needs of karate athletes in the junior Kumite category poses a significant challenge. Research Objectives: This study aims to develop a physical testing tool specifically designed to measure the physical abilities of junior athletes in the Kumite category. Methods: The research method used developmental research to test the effectiveness of the product in the form of a karate physical test instrument. The data analysis was obtained from the results of interviews, observations, field notes, and describes the percentage of success of the trial product both in terms of process and research results starting from the planning, implementation, reflection, evaluation stages in the form of psychomotor, affective, cognitive data, and physical test results. Furthermore, the data from the physical test results were analysed using SPSS version 23 statistical techniques to identify the relationship between physical test results and performance in Kumite. Findings and Results: The results of this study indicated that the newly developed physical test instrument can provide a more specific measurement of the physical abilities of junior karate athletes in the Kumite category. In addition, the results also provided greater insight into the physical factors that influence performance in Kumite matches. By providing a more effective tool and increasing the understanding of the relationship between physical attributes and competitive performance. Conclusion: The implication of this study is that a scientific approach using physical measures provides a valuable contribution to the development of a selection system and the coaching of junior karate athletes. Thus, this study makes an important contribution to the development of the performance of junior karate athletes and improves the efficiency of their selection and coaching processes.

“…Jump tests are simple, quick to execute, and considered the most reliable tool to measure power and explosiveness in athletes at lower extremities [ 1 ]; in fact, both in individual and team sports, vertical jump performance represents an important prerequisite for optimal performance during competitions and a fast option evaluate the knee status at the time to return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction [ 2 , 3 ]. This is particularly relevant for single-leg jumping tests since a variety of sports injuries occur during single-leg motor tasks, including breaking then changing direction, landing, and pivoting [ 4 ].…”

Jump tests are simple, quick to execute, and considered the most reliable tool to measure lower extremities power and explosiveness in athletes. Wearable inertial sensors allow the assessment of jumping performance on any surface. The validity of inertial sensors measurements is a pivotal prerequisite to reliably implement their utilization in the clinical practice. Twenty-seven athletes (20 M/7 F, age: 27 ± 7 years old) performed five double-leg countermovement jumps (CMJs) and three single-leg CMJs per side with their hands on their hips. Jump height was measured/computed simultaneously with the optoelectronic system, force platforms, and the Baiobit inertial sensor system. The athletes completed the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). When comparing the methods (Baiobit vs. force platforms), a non-statistically significant bias of 1.8 cm was found for two-leg CMJs and −0.6 cm for single-leg CMJs. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) was “excellent” for double-leg CMJs (ICC = 0.92, 95% CI = 0.89–0.94) and “good” for single-leg CMJs (ICC = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.85–0.91). When comparing the methods (Baiobit vs. force platforms + optoelectronic system), a non-statistically significant bias of −0.9 cm was found for two-leg CMJs and −1.2 cm for single-leg CMJs. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was “good” for both double-leg CMJs (ICC = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.73–0.85) and for single-leg CMJs (ICC = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.80–0.89). Baiobit tends to overestimate double- and single-leg CMJ height measurements; however, it can be recommended in the world of rehabilitation and sport analysis.
