Soccer is one of the most popular team sports, however, at the same time appeared an increased frequency of lower limb musculoskeletal injuries. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of a balance training program on proprioception ability of young soccer players (16,11+1,19), performed under different fatigue conditions. More specific the purposes of this study were: a) to investigate the effect of a balance training program on healthy young soccer players proprioception ability, b) to investigate which is the most effective time for balance intervention program performance, before or after the soccer training, c) to examine the maintenance of the proprioception ability improvements after the completion of the intervention balance training program, and d) to set a unite of proprioception ability tests and to control their effectiveness on different balance ability form assessments.

Soccer is one of the most popular team sports, however, at the same time appeared an increased frequency of lower limb musculoskeletal injuries. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of a balance training program on proprioception ability of young soccer players (16,11+1,19), performed under different fatigue conditions. More specific the purposes of this study were: a) to investigate the effect of a balance training program on healthy young soccer players proprioception ability, b) to investigate which is the most effective time for balance intervention program performance, before or after the soccer training, c) to examine the maintenance of the proprioception ability improvements after the completion of the intervention balance training program, and d) to set a unite of proprioception ability tests and to control their effectiveness on different balance ability form assessments. The sample of this study comprised of 41 young soccer players, who divided into three groups, two experimental (N=26), and one control (N=15). The two experimental group followed the same intervention balance program, 3 time per week, with 20 minutes duration for 3 months. The two experimental group performed that balance program at different moment. The first group (N=13) performed it before the soccer training (group “before”) and the other (N=13), after the soccer training (group “after”). The control group (N=15) didn’t participate in any balance training program. Before the beginning of the training program a unite of tests performed. Evaluated isokinetic the extensors and flexors muscular performance-peak torque, in two angular velocities (60 and 180°/sec) at the three groups. The balance ability evaluated with a unite of tests performed on a balance system and on balance boards. That tests performed: 1) at the initial measures, a) before the soccer training, by the three groups, b) after the soccer training, by the two experimental groups, 2) at the intermediate measures (after 45 days), a) before the soccer training, by the two experimental groups, 3) at the final measures (after 90 days) a) before the soccer training, by the three groups, b) after the soccer training, by the two experimental groups, 4) at the maintenance measures (45 days after the completion of the intervention program) a) before the soccer training, by the two experimental groups. Anova and Anova Repeated Measures were used in order to determine possible statistical significant differences among the four measurements, among the experimental groups and control, and among the dominant and no dominant lower limb. The analysis of the results shown significant statistical differences among the measurements for the experimental groups, contrary to the control group that showed no similar variation from measurement to measurement. Specifically, improvements showed at the tests performed on the balance system and evaluated a) the deviations from the horizontal plane, and b) the time completion of the target agility test, and at the tests performed on balance boards and evaluated the time balance maintenance. Also, the two experimental groups improved the same their balance ability. Finally, didn’t find differences between the dominant and the nondominant lower limb in all the balance and muscular performance tests. Considering the total results of the present study, proposed the performance of balance exercises by healthy athletes in order to improve their proprioception ability. The performance of balance exercises could take place before or after the sport specific training.
