  • Univariate logistic regression analyses were performed for each of the potential predictors.

  • *Tests included were one-leg hop, square-hop, one-leg balance and one-leg rise tests.

  • ACLR, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; LSI, leg symmetry index (injured leg divided by non-injured leg×100).
