The squat is one of the most common exercises throughout a training program in several sports areas, providing benefits to the physiological and functional mechanism of the knee joints. However, there is still no consistency in the findings regarding the effects of stretching and ankle mobility exercises on the angular kinematic variables of the free squat. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of static calf stretching and ankle mobility exercises on range of motion during the barbell squat. The study included 11 university students of both sexes aged between 22 and 32 years. After warming up, the volunteers performed four free squats with a barbell before and after the ankle stretching and mobility protocol. Through filming, the trunk, hip, knee and ankle inclination angles were evaluated. An average of four replicates was considered. No significant differences were found between pre and post stretching and mobility protocol for all variables analyzed (p > 0.05). Therefore, it is concluded that a protocol of 10 minutes of stretching and ankle mobility exercises, performed intermittently, is not sufficient to improve the free squat range of motion. However, the interpretation of the results must be taken with caution.
