Abstract
Introduction: Dynamic balance (ED) is at the base of all sports motor activity. Some variables such as the type of
foot and the Windlass Mechanism (WM) are associated with this balance and the risk of injury on the lower limb.
The recognition of these elements in the population is necessary to identify potential risk factors and promote the
respective preventive measures. Objective: To characterize the dynamic balance sociodemographic, anthropometric
and some anatomical-functional variables of the foot in young soccer players from the Cañasgordas Latinos club.
Materials and methods: Quantitative, observational, and cross-sectional study. A total of 10 soccer players were
included. The ED was evaluated using the Y-Balance Test. MW was evaluated through the Jack’s Test. The HERZCO
method was used to determine the type of the foot. Results: Susceptible aspects of the equipment and possible risk factors for injury, such as the prevalence of pes cavus and the inactivation of the Windlass Mechanism in 70% of
the sample were identified. Any athlete presented an injury risk associated with asymmetries in dynamic balance.
Conclusions: It is suggested to complement the evaluation of ED with anatomical-functional factors in athletes to
determine the risk of injury.
