BACKGROUND
The Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) is a valid and reliable test commonly used during return to sport testing. While reference values have been determined for multiple sports, few have specifically considered National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) American football players.
PURPOSE
To provide reference values on the CKCUEST for NCAA football players with considerations for position, history of upper extremity injury, year in school, and division of college football.
STUDY DESIGN
Cross-sectional study.
METHODS
Eighty football players from three NCAA schools were recruited to participate in this study. Height, mass, position, year in school, and history of upper extremity injury were collected. Subjects completed three trials of the CKCUEST with their means recorded. Means were compared using ANOVA with post hoc Bonferroni tests. A T-test was used for a secondary comparison of mean touches of linemen versus all other positions. Pearson correlation coefficients assessed the relationship between number of touches and subject characteristics.
RESULTS
Subjects were all males with a mean of 2.5 years in school (95% CI 2.18-2.85). Subjects of the study averaged 27.3 touches. There were no statistically significant performance differences between players from NCAA divisions, with/without injury history, years in school, or athlete demographics. Linebackers had significantly more touches compared to offensive linemen, 29.7 and 24.8 (p<0.03), respectively. Additionally, linemen as a group (offensive and defensive) averaged 25.7 touches, which was significantly lower compared to all other positions combined (28.1 touches, p<0.01). The minimal detectable change was 1.2 touches.
CONCLUSION
A reference value of 27 touches was found for the CKCUEST in NCAA football players. A change of at least two touches would indicate a measurable change. Position differences should play a role in clearance for return to sport; specifically, linemen may produce less touches than other non-lineman positions.

背景
闭合动力链上肢稳定性测试（CKCUEST）是一项在恢复运动测试中常用的有效且可靠的测试。虽然已经确定了多种运动的参考值，但很少有研究专门考虑美国国家大学体育协会（NCAA）的美式橄榄球运动员。
目的
为NCAA橄榄球运动员提供CKCUEST的参考值，并考虑位置、上肢损伤史、在校年份和大学橄榄球分区。
研究设计
横断面研究。
方法
招募了来自三所NCAA学校的80名橄榄球运动员参与本研究。收集了身高、体重、位置、在校年份和上肢损伤史。受试者完成了三次CKCUEST测试，并记录其平均值。使用方差分析和事后邦费罗尼检验比较平均值。使用T检验对内线球员与所有其他位置的平均触球次数进行二次比较。皮尔逊相关系数评估触球次数与受试者特征之间的关系。
结果
受试者均为男性，平均在校2.5年（95%CI 2.18 - 2.85）。研究中的受试者平均触球27.3次。来自NCAA不同分区、有无损伤史、在校年份或运动员人口统计学特征的球员之间在表现上没有统计学显著差异。与进攻内线球员相比，线卫触球次数明显更多，分别为29.7次和24.8次（p<0.03）。此外，内线球员组（进攻和防守）平均触球25.7次，明显低于所有其他位置组合（28.1次，p<0.01）。最小可检测变化为1.2次触球。
结论
在NCAA橄榄球运动员中，CKCUEST的参考值为27次触球。至少两次触球的变化表明有可测量的变化。位置差异在恢复运动的许可中应起作用；具体而言，内线球员可能比其他非内线位置的球员触球次数更少。
