Analysis of the Functional Kinetic Performance of Mmii of a Group of Amateur Runners from the Municipality of Gurupi, Brazil

Abstract

Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the functional kinetic performance of a group of amateur runners from the municipality of Gurupi-To through the application of the passive stiffness test of the lateral rotators of the hip, Y Balance Test, dorsiflexion lunge test, Navilicular drop test, and sit-and-reach test (Wells bank test). Study Design: This was a cross-sectional, quantitative field research. Place and Duration of Study: Data collection was carried out from February 2024 to March 2024. Methodology: The research was carried out at the Clinical School of Physiotherapy of the University of Gurupi (UnirG) in the municipality of Gurupi with amateur runners associated with Tonello Assessorial Sportive. Results: The research revealed that the sample presents a balance deficit in the lower limbs, bilateral hypomobility of the ankle, low flexibility of the posterior chain, overweight and obesity, preserved hip and ankle mobility and physiological plantar arch for normality. Conclusion: Therefore, overweight and low scores in injury incidence tests in the group of runners.
