Abstract:The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the effects of proprioceptive training (PT) and central stabilization (CS) related to physical fitness in young soccer payer athletes. Twenty-four male athletes randomly divided in two groups (PT: 15.6 ± 0.5 years old; CS: 15.3 ± 0.5 years old) participated in the study. The assessment was made by the Square Test (agility), Sit Up (abdominal strength), Side Hop (balance), Shuttle Run (speed) and Flexibility (Wells Bank). The intervention totaled nine weeks, three times a week. The data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Test. At the end, all athletes showed improved speed. In PT there was also an improvement in agility. However, when comparing methods, the PT group showed better results related to agility and the CS related to speed. Thus, the results show the importance of Sports Physiotherapy, influencing in a positive manner in the athletes' physical fitness.
