Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the hip joint strength and flexibility of professional soccer players, focusing on differences based on their field positions (goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, attackers).
  • It involved 96 players, measuring hip extension range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength using specific tests, finding significant differences in ROM among positions but not in muscle strength.
  • The findings suggest coaches can tailor training programs to address the varying needs of players based on positional strengths and weaknesses.
