“…In previous studies, it has been stated that there is no significant difference between the positions of soccer players in terms of max VO 2 , visual and auditory reaction times as well as reactive and pre-planned agility. [32][33][34] These parameters may affect performance, which could explain why athletes perform similarly.…”

“…On the other hand, agility has been defined as the ability to maintain and control a correct body position while quickly changing direction (Sporis et al, 2010). Research has showed that it requires the combination of several physical / physiological abilities such as speed, balance, power and coordination (Goral, 2015). Results from the present study indicate that some of these abilities could have been stimulated by the slackline training program.…”

The goal of this study was to assess the effects of a supervised slackline training program in a group of soccer players. Thirty-four male division I under-19 players (16.64 ± 0.81 years) agreed to participate in the study. They were randomly divided into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). The first group (EG) followed a 6-week supervised slackline training program (3 sessions/week; 5-9 min/session), while the CG performed only regular soccer training. Several variables were assessed in all participants: acceleration (20-m sprint test), agility (90º turns test), jump performance (squat jump, countermovement jump), and postural control (Center of Pressure ( CoP) testing: length, area, speed, Xmean, Ymean, Xspeed, Yspeed, Xdeviation, Ydeviation). Ratings of perceived exertion and local muscle ratings of perceived exertions were also recorded after each slackline training session. At post-tests, there was a significant increase only in the EG in acceleration, agility, squat jump and countermovement jump performance, as well as several CoP variables: area in the bipedal support on a firm surface, and length, area and speed in the left leg on a firm surface. The program was rated as “somewhat hard” by the players, while quadriceps, gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior were the most exerted muscles while slacklining. In conclusion, slackline training can be an effective training tool for young, high-level soccer players.

“…Karakas et al (2011) in a study of the average BMI values of football players found the average as 23,26. Goral et al (2012) in the study of the average values of football players stated the values as height 176.5, BW 73.4, BMI 23.55. Aslan et al in the study of volleyball players BMI values found the average as 24.35.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between proprioceptive sensory functions and body mass index parameters of football and volleyball players. 16 male football players and 16 male volleyball players, whose average age was 21,4 years, voluntarily participated in this research. In this study, body mass indexes (BMI) were figured out by measuring height and body weight (BW) and proprioceptive sense functions were measured by using TechnoBody PK-252 isokinetic balance system measurement device. Balance parameters were recorded as stability index (SI), average force variance (AFV) and average track error (ATE). In the study findings, it was observed that there was no meaningful correlation between the parameters for football players, though there was a negative meaningful correlation between BW and BMI values and ATE and SI values for volleyball players (p<0,05). Although there was not a difference between research groups' proprioceptive sense functions and BMI values, there was a meaningful difference between groups' body height and BW values in the course of comparing the groups. According to these results, it could be said that there was a correlation between some anthropometric data (BW, BMI) and proprioceptive sense functions. However, it is considered that the number of similar studies should be increased in order to reach a final judgement.
