The Effect of Acute Chronic Training Load Ratio on Daily Stress, Fatigue, and Soreness Level in A Ncaa Division 1 Soccer Players

RESULTS: Mean Y balance CS was 0.87 (± 0.09) with maximum reach distances of 0.84 ± 0.06, 0.93 ± 0.11 and 0.84 ± 0.06 % of leg length in the A, PL, and PM directions, respectively. Of all 11 variables, Y balance CS only significantly predicted peak knee flexion during stance phase of running, and even then only accounted for 12% of the variance (Table 1). CONCLUSION: Performance on the Y-balance test may not be useful for predicting injury risk in runners as the test does not predict variables previously linked to running injuries. However, further prospective studies tracking occurrence of actual injuries as well as internal loading at common running injury sites are required to fully clarify whether the Y balance test is suitable for screening runners.
