The researchers stated that the study showed a positive, significant correlation between Quadriceps strength indices and pre- and postoperative functional stability. Considering the data presented in the Table 5, do you agree with their statement? Provide a rationale for your answer.

Quadriceps Strength60°/s Hamstring Strength60°/s Quadriceps Strength 120°/s Hamstring 120/s
Hop index r = 0.655** r = 0.247 r = 0.744* r = 0.431*
Sig. (two tailed) p = 0.000 p = 0.080 p = 0.000 p = 0.016

Triple hop index r = 0.619* r = 0.342 r = 0.742** r = 0.420*
Sig. (two tailed) p = 0.000 p = 0.060 p = 0.000 p = 0.019

Shuttle run test r = -0.498** r = -0.149 r = -0.457** r = -0.178
Sig. (two tailed) p = 0.004 p = 0.424 p = 0.010 p = 0.338

Side step test r = -0.528** r = -0.124 r = -0.519** r = 0.238*
Sig. (two tailed) p = 0.00 2 p = 0.506 p = 0.003 p = 0.198

Carioca test r = -0.474* r = -0.047 r = -0.510** r = 0.267
Sig. (two tailed) p = 0.000 p = 0.802 p = 0.003 p = 0.146
* Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (two tailed).
** Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (two tailed).
