Summary

This observational cross-sectional study aims to profile ankle isometric strength and proprioception in 9-10-year-old junior ice hockey players and to compare these outcomes and limb symmetry indices with age-matched non-athlete children. Ankle isometric muscle strength is assessed using a handheld dynamometer, and ankle proprioception is evaluated using a digital inclinometer. Measurements are performed bilaterally for dominant and non-dominant limbs. Group comparisons and limb symmetry analyses are conducted to identify potential neuromuscular differences related to sports participation.
