Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship between muscle structure of hip joint and strength in male and female soccer players. There was not significant difference between dominant and non-dominant side in muscle cross sectional area (CSA) of psoas major and muscle volume (MV) of iliopsoas. On the other hand, These CSA and MV were obtained significantly sex differences between male and female soccer players. There was significantly correlation coefficient between CSA of psoas major and hip flexion strength in all the subject. Male soccer player was larger hip flexion strength than female soccer player and long distance runners. From these results, it was suggested that training for muscle structure and function of hip joint were very important in soccer players.
