Leg Preference and Interlateral Asymmetry of Balance Stability in Soccer Players

Abstract: To examine the effect of long lasting practice on pedal behavior in sport, we compared experienced adult soccer players and nonsoccer players on leg preference in motor tasks requiring general mobilization, soccer related mobilization, and body balance stabilization. We also evaluated performance asymmetry between the right and left legs in static and dynamic unipedal body balance, based on center of pressure displacement, and correlated that with leg preference in balance stabilization tasks. Results revealed… Show more

“…In addition, they frequently show greater relationships with more offensive players on their own side of the pitch. This would confirm the suggestion put forward by Teixeira et al (2011), who state that the players preferably use their dominant leg to handle the ball, becoming intermediary players within their area of intervention. However, the volume and characteristics of the behavior of both players, although similar, are not the same.…”

“…During these activities, the soccer players maintain their balance on their support legs in order to show optimal performance (Teixeira et al, 2011). In a previous study, it was shown that there is a positive relationship between the support leg balance ability and shooting skills (Tracy et al, 2012).…”

“…The soccer players generally use their non-dominant legs in performing technical skills. Especially in performing various technical skills such as passing, shooting, and drippling, the support leg plays important role in sustaining and maintaining the body balance (Teixeira et al 2011). In a study, in which the center of pressure (COP) velocity was measured before the soccer game, in half-time, and after the game, it was determined that the balance ability of support leg has decreased (Pau et al, 2016).…”

“…For the SG the ankle were classi ed as dominant (D) and non-dominant (ND); for the UG the ankle were classi ed as stable (E) or instable (I), despite dominance. For between groups comparison purpose the dominant ankle of the SG were paired with the unstable ankle of the UG, given that previous studies did not demonstrate signi cant di erence on COP behavior between the dominant and non-dominant lower limbs of healthy individuals [25][26] . Both groups had a training frequency of three times a week, and participated in three championship during the whole year.…”
