"Even within the same sport you have different body types and different needs for the position they play. Speed, mobility, flexibility all play a part in your ability to play football. Strength and power also play a huge role. We found significant differences among position groups in muscular power, as well as muscular strength. However, we didn't find a difference in flexibility."
"If coaches and trainers could point to data that shows linebackers generally have higher upper body strength, while tight ends have a high level of flexibility or similar measures, that could lead to position-specific training and putting athletes in their most optimum positions to succeed."
