“…The neurophysiological basis of the regulation of the individual is based on the functioning of the parasympathetic system and the vagal function (Porges, 2021). For its part, the Eutonia method has been used to improve the perception of quality of life (Niaradi et al, 2022a(Niaradi et al, , 2022b or postural re-education in adolescents.…”

“…Although there are no studies demonstrating the therapeutic possibilities of the Kinomichi, there is an extensive bibliography (Areeudomwong et al, 2017;Carl, 2013;Díaz-Arribas et al, 2015;Gain-Duval, 2020;Little et al, 2014;Niaradi et al, 2022a;Paolucci et al, 2018;Paolucci et al, 2017;Young et al, 2015). The therapeutic possibilities of the nine Western therapies on which it is based have been recognised (Hevin, 2014a(Hevin, , 2014cRoumanoff, 1992aRoumanoff, , 1992c.…”

Kinomichi is a movement art of Japanese origin based on the martial art of Aikido. It is based on the Japanese tradition known as Budo, which can be translated as a form of self-knowledge and personal development through martial practice. It was created by Aikido master Masamichi Noro (1935-2013) after a serious traffic accident in 1966. Noro adapted Aikido, minimised the physical demands and incorporated therapeutic exercises so that people with motor limitations could also practice it. Our aim is to analyse the therapeutic potential of Kinomichi by determining the Western therapies on which it is based. A systematic search of six databases was conducted using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) guidelines. The search yielded 118 results, of which seven met the inclusion criteria (n = 7) and were found in the EBSCOHOST and Google Scholar databases. The Western therapeutic methods incorporated in the Kinomichi were the following (n = 9): Alexander Technique; Gindler Method; Ehrenfried Method; Kabat Method; Feldenkrais Method; Eutonia Method; Mézières Method; GDS-Godolieve Denys-Struyf Method and Antigymnastics Method. It justifies the need for quantitative experimental or quasi-experimental studies to verify the hypothetical benefits of Kinomichi as a therapeutic exercise.

“…However, the literature lacks clinical trials that provide evidence on the effects of low-cost and easily accessible training programs that are effective for the under-13 and under-15 soccer categories. Pilates emerges as a viable option that could be recommended as a complementary method to strengthen the muscles that contribute to the to body posture and, consequently, enhancing athletes’ performance, particularly during the growth phase [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. It would make an important contribution to trunk stabilization and allow children to perform better in sports by working deeper muscles.…”

“…It would make an important contribution to trunk stabilization and allow children to perform better in sports by working deeper muscles. As the muscles and bones are in the formation phase, the correct stimulus could lead to the best static body posture and for sporting gestures [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”

The interest in soccer generally starts during childhood, with children and young people often looking for opportunities in sports. New exercise techniques can be effective in improving training. The aim of this study was to compare the effects on the strength and physical posture of a group practicing Pilates with another not practicing Pilates, both undergoing continuous football training. In this controlled randomized clinical trial, the participants were 15 soccer club members, who had a training frequency of least three times weekly. The sample was divided into a control group (n = 7) of players who did not undergo any therapeutic intervention (only the usual training) and a Pilates group (n = 8) of players who participated in the mat Pilates program. The intervention consisted of fifteen sessions. Postural evaluations were performed using biophotogrammetry and force analysis. Significant improvements were obtained in terms of increased muscle strength (p = 0.001) for the Pilates group, but there were no significant postural alterations when comparing the two groups. Five weeks of mat Pilates was sufficient to increase lower limb muscle strength in young football players. This pilot study indicates that Mat Pilates as a method that could be planned to be included in training.
