Isquiosural flexibility in soccer players: a study performed in uruguayan football younger divisions
Keywords:
flexibility, hamstrings, football (soccer) players, raised leg test, photogrammetryAbstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the flexibility of the hamstring in five different football clubs that belong to the younger divisions of the Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol. 124 football players were studied (aged 18+/- 1.2 years) using the photogrammetry to determine the degrees of flexibility on the raised leg test. Statistically significant differences were found according to the clubs studied (ANOVA p=0,001). The results showed that two of the clubs presented low hamstring flexibility while the other three presented moderate flexibility.References
