Objective: Determine if there is an association between injuries and flexibility of athletes from a private university in Lima-Peru in 2018. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study in athletes from a university in Lima, Peru. Athletes who did not perform the flexibility test were excluded. A secondary base was used where measures of ranges of flexibility, core stability and proprioception were evidenced. Flexibility was measured through seven tests using the goniometer, six in core stability and six tests in proprioception. Results: Of a total of 305 athletes, 61.4% are men, 88.8% belong to humanities careers, 53.4% practice individual sports and 35.2% have injuries prior to the evaluation. Regarding the descriptive analysis of flexibility, the hip flexion test with knee flexion on the right side (passive) had a mean range of motion of 141.33 ° and 139.23 ° on the left side. When performing the cross between flexibility and sports injuries, no statistically significant values were found. However, in the multivariate analysis - crude, it was found that the modified Thomas test on the right-normal side had a significant value of p = 0.01 and on the left side - hypermobile a value of p <0.05. Conclusion: In our research article it is concluded that there is no association between flexibility and sports injuries. However, this result is refuted by various studies because they show the opposite.
