Participants' thermal temperature values, isokinetic values and balance values were taken in a specific measurement procedure and the relationship between them was statistically analyzed. All processes were carried out under the supervision of a physiotherapist. According to the statistical results we obtained, a significant relationship was found between isometric strength and thermal temperature values in hamstring group muscles. The relationship between isometric force and thermal temperature map of the hamstring group muscles is important in terms of showing that the hamstring muscle group should be prioritized in the analysis of thermal evaluations of basketball athletes. In addition, a significant relationship was found between balance parameters and temperature values in vastus lateralis and ankle. The thermal finding we observed in the vastus lateralis muscle and ankle region in terms of balance parameters, in addition to the evaluation of ankle injury risks of basketball athletes, has raised suspicion that the frequency of knee injuries is adaptively loaded by the vastus lateralis muscle and especially knee injuries occur as a result of this adaptation. From this point of view, it provides evidence that thermal analysis is a useful tool in the analysis of injury mechanisms and injury risks in understanding the most common ankle and knee injuries in basketball. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBalanceInjury mechanismsInjury risk assessmentIsokinetic valuesIsometric strengthStrengthThermal analysisThermal heat mapRisk analysisRisk assessmentThermal modelingHeat mapsInjury mechanismsInjury risk assessmentsIsokinetic valueIsokineticsIsometric strengthStrengthThermalThermal heatThermal heat mapBasketballConference Object10.1007/978-3-031-76584-1_92-s2.0-85209406789
