The inclusion of women in sport it has been a struggle of many years. Nowadays does not exist a sporting event in which they are not included for their great achievements, and their great performance in the competition. Research more than a decade have established that women make a greater physical demand at the time of the competition, which could be lead them to suffer lower limb injuries (knee) specifically of the anterior cruciate ligament. For that reason, is why this research work in order to relate the functional capacity of the lower limb with the possibility of suffering injuries. For this, the advanced sports assessment test of the lower limb (VDAEI) by Christie Powell was used. This research was carried out in the F.D.P.N. with the participation of 33 athletes between 14-30 years, the same that met the inclusion criteria. Among the different disciplines that participated are: box, athletics, judo, wrestling, weights, football and basketball. This research concluded that 27% of athletes passed the VDAEI test, while 73% did not pass. In addition, it could be deduced that a better functional capacity of the lower limb is related to the proper management of training hours per week.
