Identify areas of deficit that increase injury risk and reduce performance. Evaluate core stability, hamstring length, hip extension, dorsiflexion, lunge, and single leg calf raise.

Screening identifies areas of deficit that • Increase your risk of injury • Reduce your performance What is the purpose of screening?
Core Stability • Measured using a single leg ¼ squat • Looking for maintenance of level pelvis, knee and foot in a straight line, minimal trunk lean • Rated as good, average and poor Running Screening
Hamstring Length • Lying on back, lift leg up, keeping knee straight • Optimal is greater than 70° hip flexion • Don’t allow pelvis or lower back to move • Keep foot in plantargrade Running Screening >70°
Hip Extension Range • Perch on edge of bed/table and roll back taking both knees up to chest • Lower down one leg at a time, leg should drop below the horizontal • Optimal greater than 5° extension Running Screening > 5°
Dorsiflexion Lunge • Knee to wall, keeping heel on ground • Measure distance from big toe to wall – 10-15cm optimal • Knee must track over top of foot • Pelvis square Running Screening 10 – 15 cm
Single Leg Calf Raise • On one leg perform as many calf raises on one leg • 20 reps optimal • Maintain weight over big toe • Look for cheating with pelvis, body sway, bending/straightening Running Screening
