Abstract

Fifteen female collegiate softball players from a Midwestern, Division III National Collegiate Athletic Association instution, participated in the study. The purpose of this project was to determine if the implementation of a Quadriceps/Hamstring strengthening program would benefit female collegiate athletes. A pre- and post- test measurement of strength was calculated using an isokinetic machine. The results indicated that sixty-six percent of the participants improved their hamstring strength and ultimately improved their quadricep hamstring ratio.
