摘要：Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two forms of immobilization in ankle sprains on the strength of evertor and invertor muscles, in order to draw up a rational training plan, designed to speed up the athlete's return to competitive sport. Methods: A total of 18 soccer players (average height 1.76 ± 0.05 - average age 24.5 ± 3.5 - average weight 66.3 ± 8.1), with a second degree ankle sprain, were treated with two different therapeutic strategies: 1) group A, with Aircast Air-Stirrup Ankle Brace functional support (9 male soccer players - average height 1.80 ± 0.05 - average age 24.7 ± 3.3 years - weight 75.6 ± 5.7) and 2) group B, with taping (9 soccer players, 7 men and 2 women - average height 1.73 ± 0.04 - average age 24.2 ± 3.9 years - weight 66 ± 7.7). All athletes were tested 30 days after injury; Lido Active isokinetic system was used to monitor peak torque, total work, average power of ankle evertors and invertors. Results: The findings of our study contribute to state that the strength of ankle invertors and evertors, tested at angular speeds of 30°, 60°, 90° and 120° sec., is significantly higher in group A than in group B, in all reference parameters, with a higher index in the peak torque and in the movement of inversion, at all angular velocities tested. Conclusions: Adopting a "dynamic and functional project" allowed us not only to safeguard the biological tissue healing process, but also to keep very good levels of evertor/invertor muscle strength. All this will allow us to develop a rational program of training, drawn up on the basis of individual characteristics and in relation to injury time in the season
