Sports injury risk assessment based on a training and functional movement analysis of young elite equestrian athletes– an exploratory cross-sectional study
The results focus on the imbalances that can pose a high risk of injury. In particular, in future training concepts and preventive efforts, imbalance should be addressed in the Y-balance test, hip muscles with stronger adductor than abductor, and hip flexion contracture.
