About

The study analyzes the relationship of ankle dorsiflexion, static balance and maximum isometric strength of abductors and adductors in amateur inline skaters, and then make a comparison between sexes.

Full description

Inline skating has grown fastly and been adopted as a new form of exercise. Its relative novelty has led to research focusing on associated injuries and protective measures. The synthesis of information carried out on studies about other modalities of skating has allowed us to highlight the physical skills necessaries because of the high demand of its practice; as well as the strength in the lower limbs and the ability to balance, abilities related to each other and associated with better performance of the athlete. The use of the skating boot has also been the subject of study due to the mobility limitations that its rigidity could cause and the repercussions that such deficits would have on the injuries and abilities of skaters.

The main objective of this research will be to analyze the relationship between ankle dorsiflexion mobility, static balance and abductor and adductor strength in skaters. As well as compare the data obtained between both sexes.

The subjects who will make up the sample will be intermediate level amateur inline skaters, of both sexes and aged between 18 and 59 years; with at least one year of experience and who skate with a frequency equal to or greater than three days per week. Ankle dorsiflexion mobility, static balance and maximum isometric strength of abductors and adductors will be analyzed. The data obtained will be studied to assess the possible relationship between the abilities examined. Finally, a comparison between sexes will be made.
