Abstract

The research aims to predict the level of muscle strength of the thigh in terms of (thigh circumference - thigh length - total length - weight) as an indicator to prevent injury to the thigh muscles and knee joint. The descriptive survey method was used to suit the nature of the research, and the research was applied to a sample chosen by the intentional method of students Faculty of Physical Education at Damietta University and their number was (30) students, and the most important results were:
1. There is a positive significant correlation between the muscle strength of the front thigh muscles and each of (weight, length, circumference of the thigh joint, length of the thigh joint)
2. The presence of a positive significant correlation between the muscle strength of the posterior thigh muscles and each of (weight, length, circumference of the thigh joint, length of the thigh joint)
3. The predictive equation was reached for the amount of muscle strength of the hamstrings muscles that are most related to physical measures.
4. A software application has been developed to know the predictive value of quadriceps muscle strength.
The researchers recommend:
1- The selection process of the players must be taken care of in light of the physical measurements.
2- The development of muscle strength in line with the anthropometric measurements of the body and the mechanical requirements of performance.
