Attempting to understand on-field sport performance from dynamic performance tests of athleticism (i.e., sprinting, jumping, strength) is common practice in sport. In recent years, the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) has gained popularity in the sport performance community as an assessment tool. This scoping review examined the relationship of the IMTP to common dynamic sports assessments to evaluate the robustness of the IMTP to profile lower body force production characteristics. The literature search was conducted according to PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Articles were selected from 5 electronic databases. Data was extracted and synthesized to evaluate the reported relationships between IMTP and common dynamic sport performance assessments. Forty-eight publications were identified and included in the review. Articles reviewed were all within the past 25 years with most (66.7%) published within the past 5 years. Multiple researchers utilized the IMTP across numerous sports and generally reported consistent results. Strong correlations (41.8% of reported, r = 0.71 to 1.00) between the IMTP and the dynamic sport performance assessments were found. The available evidence suggests the IMTP is a viable option for practitioners and researchers to use to profile athletic ability. Furthermore, based on the publication year of included articles, IMTP research is relatively young and warrants further investigation.
通过运动能力的动态性能测试（即短跑、跳跃、力量）来理解场上运动表现是体育界的常见做法。近年来，等长中大腿拉力测试（IMTP）作为一种评估工具在运动表现领域受到欢迎。本综述研究了IMTP与常见动态运动评估之间的关系，以评估IMTP在描述下肢力量产生特征方面的稳健性。文献检索按照PRISMA-ScR指南进行。文章从5个电子数据库中选取。提取并综合数据以评估报告的IMTP与常见动态运动表现评估之间的关系。共识别出48篇出版物并纳入综述。所审查的文章均发表于过去25年内，其中大部分（66.7%）发表于过去5年。多位研究人员在众多运动项目中使用了IMTP，且普遍报告了一致的结果。发现IMTP与动态运动表现评估之间存在强相关性（报告的相关性中41.8%，r = 0.71至1.00）。现有证据表明，IMTP是从业者和研究人员用于描述运动能力的可行选择。此外，根据纳入文章的发表年份，IMTP研究相对较新，值得进一步研究。
