This study investigated the effects of tibialis flexion exercise on sprint performance in young soccer players. 15 young male soccer players (age: 16.53 ± 1.36 years, height: 180.60 ± 4.36 cm, body weight: 69.80 ± 6.28 kg) playing soccer in the U-17 age category of a professional soccer team voluntarily participated in the study. Before the team soccer training, tibialis flexion exercise was performed 3 times a week. This process continued for 4 weeks. Due to the progressive loading method, 5 repetitions were added to the movement repetition after a training week ended. After the last practice of the week, a 30-meter sprint test was conducted. The test was measured using the "MySprint" application. Every 5-meter piece of the run was compared. As a result of the study, a significant difference in the test results of the last two weeks in terms of duration was observed in different parts of the 30-meter run.
