The purpose of this study was to report a hip screening examination of asymptomatic female soccer athletes and to test the hypothesis that these findings vary by competition experience. Methods: Asymptomatic females from a youth soccer club, a college, and a professional team were evaluated. Passive hip range of motion, hip abduction strength, and hip provocative tests were assessed. Data were compared for the grade/middle school, high school, college, and professional athletes. Results: One hundred and seventy-two athletes with a mean age of 16.7±5years (range 10-30) participated. Professional athletes had less flexion (HF) for both hips (p<0.0001) and less internal rotation (IR) for the preferred kicking leg (p<0.05) compared to all other groups. Grade/middle school athletes had more external rotation in both hips as compared to all other groups (p<0.0001). For the preferred kicking leg, collegiate athletes had less hip abduction strength as compared to other groups (p<0.01). Positive provocative hip tests were found in 22% of all players and 36% of the professionals. In professionals, a positive provocative test was associated with ipsilateral decreased HF (p=0.04). Conclusion: Asymptomatic elite female soccer athletes with the most competition experience had less bilateral hip flexion and preferred kicking leg IR than less-experienced athletes. Positive provocative hip tests were found in 22% of athletes. Future studies are needed to show whether these findings link to risk for intra-articular hip or lumbar spine and knee disorders.
