Limited ranges of motion (ROM) have been considered as a primary risk factor for some football injuries, but only few studies analyzed differences in lower extremity joints. The main purposes were: 1) to describe the ROM profile professional players; and 2) examine between goalkeepers outfield players.Eighty-two male players from 4 teams were measured 2013 pre-season. Measures passive hip (flexion with knee flexed [PHFKF] extended [PHFKE], extension [PHE], abduction [PHA], external [PHER]...

Lower extremity non-contact soft tissue (LE-ST) injuries are prevalent in elite futsal. The purpose of this study was to develop robust screening models based on pre-season measures obtained from questionnaires and field-based tests prospectively predict LE-ST after having applied a range supervised Machine Learning techniques. One hundred thirty-nine futsal players underwent evaluation that included individual characteristics; related sleep quality, athlete burnout, psychological...

Cortell-Tormo, JM, García-Jaén, M, Chulvi-Medrano, I, Hernández-Sánchez, S, Lucas-Cuevas, ÁG, and Tortosa-Martínez, J. Influence of scapular position on the core musculature activation in prone plank exercise. J Strength Cond Res 31(8): 2255-2262, 2017-Prone is a widely used exercise stability training.
