Exploring the Relationship Between Muscular Imbalances and Injury Risk in Athletes

Project Abstract

Muscular imbalances are a common issue among athletes and have been identified as a potential risk factor for injuries. This research project aims to explore the relationship between muscular imbalances and injury risk in athletes. The study will investigate how specific muscle imbalances may predispose athletes to different types of injuries, with a focus on understanding the underlying mechanisms and potential preventive strategies.
