BACKGROUND: Resistance training has many adepts, each with distinct biopsychosocial characteristics. A functional analysis of this audience is necessary, as it contributes to the tracking of one of the determinants that make up a complex chain of solution development. OBJECTIVE: To carry out a cluster of functional tests, in a practical resistance training purpose, identifies the presence of biological risk factors. METHODS: Five tests were performed, delivered to 30 participants from eight gyms. Tests were recorded: Single Leg Squat (AU), Gluteus Medius Function (FGM), Hip Passive Stiffness (RPQ), Dorsiflexion Range of Motion (ADMD), Hip Extender Muscle Function (FEQ). Descriptive analysis was performed, depending on the distribution of data, which was evaluated by the Shapiro Wilk Test (α=0.05). RESULTS: In the RPQ test, there was a mean of 25.68±0.32°. The ADMD test showed values of 41.18±0.42°. The FEQ test presented an average of 2.5±0.5 repetitions. In the FGM test, on average, three repetitions were performed. During the Single Leg Squat test, 58.3% of the participants presented misalignment of the dominant lower limb and 50.0% of the non-dominant limb. CONCLUSION: The study demonstrates a high occurrence of functional alterations in the lower limbs of resistance training. As much as these data, in isolation, are not capable of explaining the occurrence of injuries, they collaborate for the tracking of an important component of the complex chain of injury development.
