The purpose of this study was to identify differences of proprioception and muscle strength in five years over chronic hyperextension stretching event in female athletes. Twenty-eight Female university students(Control, n＝7; Gymnastics, n＝7; Taekwondo, n＝7; Ballet, n＝7) were assigned to 1 of 4 groups. Subjects were excluded if they had a lower extremity injury, vestibular problems, visual problems or concussion in the 12 weeks before the study. Experimental data were analyzed statistically by one-way ANOVA using Window SPSS/PC program. And then, LSD was used as post hoc test. A significant level was considered as p<.05. The results are as follows; 1.There were significant differences in muscle function among groups. 1)There were significant differences in left knee extensor strength at 60°/sec among groups(p<.05) 2)There were significant differences in right and left knee extensor strength at 180°/sec among groups(p<.05) 3)There were significant differences in left knee flexor strength at 180°/sec among groups(p<.05) 2.There were no significant differences in proprioception among groups. In conclusion, muscle function among Gymnastic, Taekwondo, Ballet and Control group were significantly different, but differences of proprioception were not significant among groups.
