The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a football on University Soccer Players ankles isokinetic strength and lower leg function. The subjects of the study included twenty-two male university students; group(Con, n=10) and football players group(Football, n=12). They accepted the physical examination and questionnaire. In this study, %bodyweight peak torque of isokinetic ankle plantarflexion, dorsi flexion, eversion & inversion strength and functional ankle ability were measured. The results are as follows; The Isokinetic ankle strengthening was not significantly different between the groups Con and Football of plantarflexion, dorsi flexion and eversion of the right foot and left foot at angular velocity 30°/sec and 120°/sec. Isokinetic ankle strengthening was significantly different between the Con and Football groups in the inversion of the right foot at angular velocity 30°/sec(p<.001) and 120°/sec(p<.01). The lower leg functional test is a hopping test and showed no significant difference between the Con and Football, groups and a side hop test results showed significant difference between the Con and Football groups of the right foot(p<.01). Consequently, this study suggests that muscle activity in the ankle is increased more in inversion and less in eversion in football players.
