Ankle range of motion on the sagittal and frontal plane was measured. One maximum repetition test for the tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior and peroneal muscles; fingertip rise test, single- and double-feet vertical jump tests and 10-step\/sec test for the gastrosoleus were performed. All tests were performed three times; without brace application, wrapped in elastic bandage and fitted with the Aircast\u00ae orthosis.\\r\\nResults: There was no statistically significant difference between the test results of single-foot vertical jump, 10-step\/sec and fingertip rise tests (p&gt;0.05). Double-feet vertical jump test results with both exterior supports were better than the ankle without any support (p&lt;0.05). Vertical jump test results were significantly higher with the Aircast\u00ae orthosis than elastic bandage (p&lt;0.05). Inversion and eversion movements were restricted significantly more in the Aircast\u00ae orthosis than in the elastic bandage (p&lt;0.05).\\r\\nConclusion: Although external supports restrict the foot-ankle range of motion in specific ratios, these restrictions did not adversely affect the athlete\u2019s physical fitness. The Aircast\u00ae orthosis was more effective than the elastic bandage in reducing injury risk, preventing repetitive injuries and providing an early return to sports.\n\n\n\u00d6zet\n\nAma\u00e7: Bu \u00e7al\u0131\u015fma ayak bile\u011fi yaralanmas\u0131 olan sporcularda Aircast\u00ae ortez ve elastik bandaj uygulamas\u0131n\u0131n fiziksel performans \u00fczerine etkisini de\u011ferlendirmek amac\u0131yla yap\u0131lm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r.\\r\\n\u00c7al\u0131\u015fma plan\u0131: \u00c7al\u0131\u015fmaya ayak bile\u011fi yaralanmas\u0131 ge\u00e7irmi\u015f 60 elit erkek futbolcu al\u0131nd\u0131.
