Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dynamic knee valgus during overhead squat, on hip and ankle joints muscle strength and range of motion in basketball players. Methods: In this study, 35 healthy basketball players (with the mean age of 20.98± 1.99, height 183.27 ± 6.64 cm and mass 75.31 ± 9.24 kg), in the control group (n = 18) and dynam...

Objectives: Reduced range of motion, as a consequence of the muscle and connective tissue stiffness has been shown to associate with higher incidence of falling in elderly.
