“…Results of this work also show better postural stability of young football players in dynamic conditions, which are more valuable than static ones, because they are the closest conditions to these on the football field. Interestingly, Pau et al [32] observed dynamic balance impairment in young football players due to fatigue after the first half on football match. The impairment was observed in the increase in the time necessary to stabilize after landing from a single-leg jump.…”

“…On the basis of tracking professional players' COG trajectory while they were standing on one leg and then monitoring the time taken to stabilize their posture, Pau et al [32] showed that they achieved significantly lower stabilization times while their center of pressure (COP) displacement surface area was significantly less than for their novice colleagues.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of regular soccer training on the balance system for young women. Computerized dynamic posturography of female footballers (n = 25) and control group (n = 50) was assessed during three tests: Sensory Organization Test, Motor Control Test, and Adaptation Test. Statistically significant differences between the groups was found in Composite Equilibrium Score with higher values, indicating better postural stability, for footballers. Regular trainees also showed better usefulness of vestibular system while maintaining balance. Weight symmetry of the lower limbs during Motor Control Test also showed statistically significant differences between the groups. This study shows that female footballers have better postural stability than their inactive peers and that regular workouts may improve the balance system.

“…The proprioceptive system is affected by fatigue, aging, sarcopenia, neurological disease fibromyalgia, cancer, and rheumatological diseases and may result in impaired balance [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Many researchers have shown that fatigue negatively affects dynamic postural control [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ]. Fatigue is an essential factor that acutely affects balance ability.…”

“…Fatigue is an essential factor that acutely affects balance ability. In a study in which the center of pressure (COP) was measured before, in halftime and immediately after a soccer match, it was determined that the balance skill of the support leg was impaired in the post-match measurement [ 41 ]. The return of balance ability to average values after fatigue depends on many factors.…”

Sixteen female soccer players (age = 20.19 ± 1.52 years; body mass = 56.52 ± 4.95 kg; body height = 164.81 ± 4.21 cm) with no history of lower extremity injury participated in the study. The Biodex SD Balance system was used to determine the non-dominant single-leg stability. In anaerobic exercise, each subject performed four maximal cycling efforts against a resistance equivalent to 0.075 kg/body mass for 30 s with three-minute rest intervals. In aerobic exercise, subjects performed the Bruce protocol on a motorized treadmill. After each exercise, subjects subsequently performed a single-leg stability test and then repeated the same test for four times with five-minute passive rest periods. In accordance with the results, it was found that the impairment observed right after the aerobic loading was higher (p < 0.001) compared to the anaerobic one. However, the time-related deterioration in both aerobic and anaerobic loadings was similar. The B-pre value was lower than Bpost and B5 (p < 0.01) and B10 (p < 0.05) in both conditions. Subjects could reach the initial balance level at B15 after aerobic and anaerobic loadings. The lactate level did not reach resting value even after 20 min of both fatigue protocols. Although the fatigue after aerobic and aerobic exercise negatively affects a single-leg dynamic balance level, single leg balance ability returns to the baseline status after 10 min of passive recovery duration.

The assessment of single-leg drop jump landing performance by means of ground reaction forces: A methodological study

et al. 2019

Background: Time to stabilization (TTS) and dynamic postural stability index (DPSI) are outcome measures based on ground reaction force (GRF) that are often used to quantify dynamic postural stability performance following a drop jump landing. However, their interrelations, as well as the overlap with other dynamic measures and static single-leg postural sway, are unknown. Research question: What is the relation among TTS and DPSI, how are they related to impact forces and dynamic postural sway, and how are all these dynamic measures related to static postural sway? Methods: A sample of 190 elite soccer players performed four single-leg drop jump landings. TTS in three directions (vertical, anteroposterior, and mediolateral), and DPSI were intercorrelated (Pearson's r), and related to impact forces and the magnitude of horizontal GRF (HGRF) from 0.4 to 2.4 s and 3.0-5.0 s following landing. All these measures were also correlated to HGRF in the static phase (i.e., 5.3-11.7 s). Results: The TTS measures were significantly interrelated (r = 0.28-0.53), but were not significantly correlated to DPSI. TTS was more strongly related to HGRF0.4-2.4 s (r = 0.54-0.75) than to HGRF3.0-5.0 s (r = 0.32-0.54) or impact forces (r=-0.28-0.36). Vertical TTS was not significantly related to impact forces. The DPSI was most strongly related to the vertical peak force (r = 0.85), and was not significantly related to HGRF of the dynamic periods. Furthermore, TTS and dynamic HGRF were significantly related to static HGRF (r = 0.34-0.80), while DPSI and impact forces were not. Significance: TTS and DPSI do not represent similar aspects of single-leg jump landing performance. The ability to stabilize posture seems to be represented by TTS and dynamic postural sway, which partly overlaps with static postural sway. In contrast, DPSI and vertical peak force mainly reflect the kinetic energy absorption during impact. The findings can help to better understand the meaning of the outcome measures, and to translate results to rehabilitation or prevention programs.
