The Effects Of Hip Tightness On Running Mechanics And The Fms Deep Squat In Diii Track & Field Runners, Sam Rosario
Augsburg Honors Review
Running requires rapid hip movements. Increasing running speeds place increased loads on hip flexor and extensor muscles (Schache et al., 2011). It is unclear whether Division III track and field athletes with self-reported hip tightness would present altered sagittal plane hip mechanics while running and functional limitations when performing the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) deep squat. Objective: To investigate the relationship between hip tightness, as measured by the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) deep squat (DS), and running mechanics, as measured by the peak flexion and extension angles in Division III Track & Field athletes. Methods: Ten subjects completed the FMS …
