The effects of sex and competitive status (athlete vs nonathlete) on ankle inversion–eversion range of motion was investigated. 62 collegiate athletes and 36 collegiate nonathletes, both male and female, were tested. Analysis of variance showed significant (p < .05) main effects for sex but not competitive status or sex × competitive status. These results imply that college age women have more ankle rotational range of motion than men and that collegiate athletes in a group of various sports do not differ in ankle range of motion when compared to college nonathletes. Power in this sample did not permit definitive assessment.
