Correlation between Injury and Length Difference in Both Feet in Women Soccer Players

The purpose of this study was to develop injury prevention program for women soccer players. Subject were all the members of korean national women youth soccer team (U-19). The length of both feet was measured, and 24 female soccer players were divided into 3 groups according to her length difference between both feet. In A group, the length of right foot was equal to that of left. In B group, the difference between both feet length was under 2mm. In C group, the difference between both feet length was above 3mm. Injury score was awarded by medical doctor and team doctor to each person after interview. Ball speed of both leg was measured by speed gun, balance was by stork stand. As a result, about 80% of subjects were included in B and C group. Pearson’s r was .590 between the foot length difference and injury score (p＜.01), especially the highest ‘r’ was shown between the foot length difference and ankle injury score (r=.745, p＜.01). No significance was shown between the foot length difference and ball speed, but significant difference was shown between the foot length difference and balance (p＜.05).
