For the knee extension assessment, participants will be in a seated position, whereas during the knee flexion evaluation, the participants will be in a prone position. To generate their maximal torque, the dynamometer chain length will be adjusted so that their knee angle will be at ∼60° and ∼30°, for the knee extension and flexion, respectively. Participants will then apply a maximal isometric effort, maintaining it for 5s, without any subsidiary body movements.","The evaluations will be conducted in the week prior (week 0) and after the intervention (week 9).",{"measure":14,"description":15,"timeFrame":12},"Vertical jump","Jump height will be evaluated using force plates (ForceDecks, Vald).

In addition, their height and weight will also have to be measured, followed by the first assessments. They will also fill in a questionnaire about their training habits and injury history.\n\nThey will then be randomized into two possible groups: the experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG).
