Abstract

Currently, women’s football has been widely disseminated, since in Ecuador it recently opened the first women's professional league. For this reason, most athletes practice it for love and their personal merits, since they do not have consecutive training they are the most prone to different injuries. For this reason, the present investigation aims to establish the relationship that exists between the execution of the ball kick and the muscular imbalances of the lower train, in female amateur soccer players in the city of Ambato. This investigation was carried out in a synthetic stage, making them execute 18 athletes, the ball kick recorded by means of consecutive photographs, then by means of the dynamometry physiotherapeutic test the strength of the extensor and flexor muscles of the knee was measured bilaterally and finally they were given a questionnaire related to training and previous injuries during the practice of said sport. This study belongs to the research line of Epidemiology and Public Health. It was concluded that the muscular imbalance with extensor predominance (quadriceps) is related to the contact phase (inner edge) to execute the chute, since they do not have greater strength in the hamstrings to perform a more powerful kick, there is also a high relationship, of muscle imbalance between knee flexors and extensors directly related to the appearance of injuries and finally it can be mentioned that the injuries are directly related to the training that the amateur soccer players have had or have.
