Abstract
Abstract
Introduction and purpose: Football is a high-intensity periodic sport where dynamic balance and speed play a key role in the success of this sport. Proprioceptive exercises can affect these factors. The purpose of the present study is the effect of proprioceptive exercises on dynamic balance and speed of 8-14-year-old boy soccer players.
Materials and methods: 20 male soccer players entered this study as subjects and were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. From all the subjects, the Y test was taken to evaluate dynamic balance and the 40-yard sprint test was taken to measure speed. After 8 weeks of proprioceptive exercises that the experimental group did, were taken from both groups. Analysis and statistical analysis was done using spss software version 22, and in order to normalize the data, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used, in order to compare the averages of the groups, the ANOVA test was used, and Tukey's test was used to test pairs of means.
Results: The findings of this research showed that the group of proprioceptive exercises in the post-test significantly performed better in dynamic balance and speed compared to the pre-test (p=0.001).but no significant difference was observed in the control group between the two stages of the test (p>0.05). In the comparison between the groups, it was observed that the experimental group obtained better results than the control group in the dynamic balance and speed variables after the test (p<0.05).
Discussion and Conclusion: The results of the present study show that 8 weeks of proprioceptive exercises have significantly improved the dynamic balance and speed of 8-14-year-old boy soccer players.
