Summary

This observational study compares functional movement, dynamic balance, and lower body strength between 144 professional and amateur male soccer players. Participants undergo standardized tests like the Functional Movement Screen, Y-Balance Test, and jump and strength assessments. The goal is to understand how competitive level affects physical performance, which could help design better training and injury prevention programs.
