ABSTRACT
Introduction:
In the context of physical education, there is a need to determine the profile of human kineanthropometric status and the actions thereof.
Objective:
To verify the profile and possible correlation between hip articulation balance and flexibility on military men.
Method:
Forty-two Brazilian Army military men were enrolled in this study, with ages of 30.2 ± 2.6 years, 68.8 ± 14.1 kg of mass, 1.75 ± 0.05 m of height, and fat percentage of 13.5 ± 4.0 % . Balance was evaluated by a Lizard strength platform and a Lizard software 4.0. Flexibility was evaluated by a digital Guymon goniometer.
Result:
The means and standard deviation of the variables studied were: oscillation speed from the center of gravity 8.3 ± 2.4 mm/s; oscillation amplitude from the center of gravity 132.3 ± 74.9 mm2; amplitude of hip flexion 99.3 º ± 10.5 º ; amplitude of hip abduction 75.1 º ± 10.1 º , and amplitude of hip extension 58.6 º ± 7.3 º .
Conclusion:
Determination of the balance and flexibility capacity profile is of primary importance when creating classification charts of the physical condition of the population and may also guide the process of creation of sport training strategies.
