Abstract Summary
The flatfoot and cavus foot can affect the physical performance of athletes and increase the appearance of musculoskeletal disorders. The arch of the foot behaves as an elastic structure connecting the forefoot and hindfoot. The purpose of this work was to analyze the morphology of the soles of the feet in young athletes and find the prevalence of these pathologies through the Chippaux-Smirak index. It was found that women have the highest percentage of cavus foot and both genders have a low percentage of flatfoot.
