The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between range of motion, strength and limb alignment in young soccer players. Forty-seven young soccer players were evaluated for limb alignment with photogrammetry. Isometric strength was assessed with a strain gauge during leg curl and leg extension. Flexibility was measured using goniometry. Association between segmental asymmetry and strength were nonsignificant (-0.28
