“…This difference between the right and left directions of agility may be related to the player's body balance and/or dominant/nondominant leg. Football players' balance performance differs according to the playing position, and it is better in the nondominant leg than in the dominant leg (Jadczak et al, 2019). In this study, the players were right-leg dominant, and it was thought that the players were familiar with the right turning because the left leg supported the body weight when turning to the right direction.…”

There may be an optimal period of time to maximize the improvement of physical fitness during adolescence. The aim of this study was to examine the magnitude of changes in physical fitness after 8 weeks of preseason training according to chronological ages after the age at peak high velocity. Thirty male young football players from an elite football team (U-16, n= 10; U-17, n= 10; U-18, n= 10) participated in the study. The players completed an 8-week general preseason football training and participated in the pre-and posttests to measure physical fitness. The 8-week preseason training improved the power of all young players (P < 0.05). The 20-m sprint performance was improved by training in U-16 and U-18 (P< 0.05), but no changes were found in the U-17 group (P> 0.05). Significant differences were found in the arrowhead left in U-16 and U-18 (P< 0.05) after training; however, no difference was observed in U-17 (P> 0.05). Coordination was enhanced further in U-16 and U-17 (P< 0.05) compared with that in U-18 (P> 0.05). The performance of repeated sprints and Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 (Yo-Yo IR1) were similar between pre-and posttraining in all age groups (P> 0.05). Collectively, the results emphasized the importance of systematic and scientific training methods to improve the fitness levels of young football players in the preseason training period. Moreover, training to improve coordination in young football players is effective at younger ages.

“…In the dynamic balance, this difference was observed between midfielders and centerbacks, goalkeepers, strikers and midfielders. Midfielders had a better dynamic balance, and this balance was better at the non-superior foot of the players [19].…”

Objective: Football activities may be directly related to the playing position of the players on the field; so, football players develop their specific physical characteristics based on the demands of individual positions. This study aimed to investigate the biomechanical and anthropometric variables of football players according to the playing position. Methods: This review study reviewed Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct search engines for articles related to the keywords from 1996 to 2020. Results: According to the reviewed articles, it was found that biomechanical and anthropometric variables in football players are different according to the playing position. Conclusion: It seems that biomechanical and anthropometric variables can have a direct impact on the performance of players during the game, so special attention to these variables in the field of talent identification and selection of football players in different playing positions should be considered.

“…This is similar in terms of limb coordination as well. (15) As mentioned by Stawicki et al, it is essential for swimmers to put more attention towards the somatosensory factors such as Vol.11; Issue: 8; August 2021 physical position or the water resistance. Furthermore, the experience of competing has resulted in a superior somatosensory function for the swimmers.…”

Background: Swimming can be defined as an activity in which a person practices a regulated Olympic sport in order to move as fast as possible through the water due to the propulsive forces generated by arm, leg, and body movements overcoming the resistance of water. Swimming is performed in either a supine or prone position with a bilaterally-symmetric motion and is influenced by buoyancy. In other words, it is nearly unaffected by gravity and requires the same muscle exertion of both the right and left extremities. Balance is considered to be an important component of motor performance tasks. It is controlled by the central nervous system with the help of input from the visual, tactile, proprioceptive and vestibular systems (5) Balance can be defined as a condition during which the body's center-of-gravity (COG) is maintained within its base of support (BOS). Methodology: In this study, 50 Competitive swimmers were included. 36 Male and 14 Female, with a mean age, height and weight of 22.68 years, 175.56 cm and 70.94 kg respectively. Each had a swimming career more than 5 years, Training at least 5 days a week for 2 hours or more with an average of 10.12 years, 5.54 days a week for 2.68 hour training sessions. Static Balance was assessed using Balance Error Scoring System where the subjects were asked to stand with their eyes closed for 20 seconds in 6 Different Positions and the number of errors made were noted. Dynamic Balance was assessed using Star Excursion Balance Test were, a Star was marked on the ground to have 8 directions. The subject stood in the center of the star and had to reach as far as they could in each direction. This distance from the middle to the point of contact of their toe was noted and relative distance was calculated using Limb Length. The Results of both the test was compared with the normal data present. Result: The result of the test done to evaluate static balance; BESS showed that out of 50 participants 19 had superior balance, 18 had above average balance and 13 had broadly normal balance and the errors on the firm surface and soft surface had a mean and standard deviation of 2 ± 1.12 and 4.1±1.31 respectively. On the other hand, the test done to evaluate dynamic balance; SEBT showed that in each direction on an average the swimmer could reach 119.21±8.39 % relative distance in each direction. Conclusion: Different tests were conducted in the study to understand if competitive swimmers are somehow weak in terms of static and dynamic balance. The entire study is based on the effectiveness of maintaining and enhancing the static and dynamic stability among the swimmers. This study concludes that competitive swimmers have Superior Static and Dynamic Balance because of strong core muscles used to keep their body streamlined during swimming and good flexibility and neuromuscular feedback. Key words: Balance, Swimmers, Star Excursion Balance test (SEBT), Balance Error Scoring System (BESS).
