dc.description.abstractBackground. Balance is a critical component in athletic performance, particularly in sports like futsal, where rapid changes in direction and stability are essential. Foot posture and the biomechanical properties of the foot-ankle complex have been hypothesized to influence balance. However, the relationship between these factors and balance performance in amateur female futsal players remains unclear. Objectives. The study aimed to analyze the relationship between foot postures, foot-ankle biomechanical parameters (such as muscular strength, ankle range of motion, passive subtalar inversion-eversion range, calcaneal position), and static balance skills in 54 amateur female futsal players. Methods. Static balance was assessed using the Flamingo and Stork tests. Muscular strength of crural and femoral muscles was measured by ankle and knee flexion/extension maximal voluntary concentric contraction torque (MVCCT) at 60 & ring;/s with an isokinetic dynamometer. No significant correlation was found between foot postures (asymptotic significance >0.05) and foot-ankle biomechanical properties with balance performance (Pearson correlation coefficients <0.5). Results. A moderate correlation existed between ankle plantar flexor strength and the Stork test (Spearman correlation coefficient =0.6). Conclusion. There was no significant relationship between foot-ankle biomechanical parameters and balance scores (Spearman correlation coefficients <0.5). The study concluded that foot type and biomechanical parameters do not correlate with balance performance, though muscle strength is emphasized in maintaining postural stability during the Stork test.en_US
