Summary

This study looks at how the angle of the knee during a single-leg squat relates to balance, agility, and ankle flexibility in adolescent female volleyball players. Researchers will measure knee alignment from video recordings and compare it with performance tests. The goal is to better understand biomechanical factors that might influence injury risk in young athletes.

What this could lead to
If a link is found, it could help coaches and trainers identify movement patterns that may increase injury risk in young athletes.
What could go wrong
