Short-term proprioceptive intervention for static balance deficit in child soccer players. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2019, vol.38, n.2, pp.226-237.  Epub 16-Jun-2019. ISSN 0864-0300.

Introduction:

Soccer is a sport of several motor actions, which causes a constant imbalance in the body, emphasized at an early age, is the proprioception of a strategy to strengthen the balance in initiation players.

Objective:

To assess the effects of a short-term proprioceptive intervention on the balance deficit in lower limbs of child soccer players.

Methods:

Quasi-experimental cross-sectional study of a population of 12 child soccer players (10-12 years), a four-week proprioceptive training was applied, emphasizing specific aspects to enhance body balance in its static phase. Three variables were assessed for each foot from the application of the Y Balance Test in two moments of sports preparation.

Results:

The test used determined a level of statistical significance: Right Foot Left Movement (p= 0.005), Right Foot Central Movement (p= 0.004), Right Foot Right Movement (p= 0.005), Left Foot Left Movement (p= 0.003), Left Foot Central Movement (p= 0.003), Left Foot Right Movement (p= 0.004).

Conclusions:

Short-term proprioceptive training is effective in significantly improving the static balance in the lower extremities in child soccer players.
