Abstract
One-hundred eighty soccer players were tested for muscle strength in knee extension and knee flexion and for flexibility in the lower extremity. The strength measurements were done with a Cybex II isokinetic device (Lumex, Bay Shore, New York). The range of motion (ROM) was measured according to a method described by Ekstrand et al. (1982). The players were devided into groups according to their player position: goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. The results showed a significantly higher knee extensor torque in goalkeepers and defenders than in forwards. The knee flexion/knee extension ratio (H/Q ratio) was significantly higher for forwards compared to goalkeepers and defenders. The goalkeepers were significantly more flexible than the other players in hip flexion, knee flexion, and ankle dorsiflexion. Verf.-Referat
