Description
The purpose of this study was to get a better understanding of the difference between the knee flexion of athletes and non-athletes. Injury of the knee is very common and can range on how serious it is by looking the degree of injury and mechanism of injury. The goal in mind while completing this study was to increase the flexion of the participant by implementing simple knee strengthening exercises and partaking in these exercises once per day for one week. It was found that with the exercises, the average knee flexion of the participant increased.
