The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is vital for knee stability, and ACL injuries in futsal can lead to long-term issues. Reconstruction surgery may be affected by Anthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI), especially in the vastus medialis muscle. This study aims to compare AMI in futsal players with ACL injuries to those without injuries, focusing on measurement techniques, sports performance, muscle strength, and recovery time. The research involves evaluating 54 players (27 injured and 27 non-injured) at various stages of the season using strength tests and imaging.
