“…Although individuals with congenital blindness show structural changes in the cerebral cortex to compensate for the blindness, it has been reported that this does not lead to better postural control than individuals with typical development [ 37 ]. A few of the studies in the literature found that sports and exercise improved the postural control of blind individuals [ 4 , 15 , 34 , 37 ].…”

The somatosensory system is a complect sensory system that differentiates individual athletes. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of visual acuity level on throwing technique, proprioceptive sense of the shoulder joint, light touch and two-point discrimination sense of the upper extremity, and sensory function (postural control and reaction time) in visually impaired goalball players. Goalball players who have different visual acuities B1(unable to perceive light or recognize its shape); B2 (has a visual field of less than 5 degrees and can recognize shapes); B3 (visual field greater than 5 degrees and less than 20 degrees) participated in the study. The sensorial system was evaluated with proprioceptive sense of the shoulder joint and sensory tests (light touch and two-point discrimination sense of the dominant hand.). Sensory function (postural control and reaction time) was evaluated with the flamingo balance test, functional reach test, and pro-agility test. The goalball players’ throwing technique was questioned. Seventeen male players, those aged 20–30 (20.8±3.9 years) who have been professionally engaged in goalball for at least three years (58.7–37.8 months) participated. Shoulder internal rotation joint position sense and the flamingo balance test were found to be different in the group with B1 visual acuity than in the group with B3 visual acuity (p = 0.042* and 0.028 respectively). There was no difference between groups with B1-B2 visual acuity (p = 0.394 and p = 0.065) and between groups with B2-B3 visual acuity (p = 0.792 and p = 0.931). There was no difference in the groups in terms of sensory tests and reaction time (p> 0.05). In goalball, joint position sense is related to throwing techniques. Although there is a general acceptance that other sensory systems should work harder to compensate for the sense of vision, fear of falling, athlete’s branch year, sports year, muscle strength, and general physical condition of the athlete may affect the measurements made, especially in the dynamic position.

“…Among the reasons for this, differences in sports branches, age levels and test protocols used in evaluation can be cited. When the studies examining the effects of proprioceptive exercises on athletes in different sports branches are analyzed, it was determined that there were improvements in the agility values of the groups that were given proprioceptive training, which is usually called the experimental group (Ganesh, 2012;Goktepe, 2019;Moreira et al, 2017;Riva et al, 2016;Šalaj et al 2007;Taskin & Bicer, 2015).…”

It is aimed to determine the level of influence of proprioceptive training applied to young football players on high-intensity actions and footballspecific skills of football players. The research group consists of 30 male football players (age = 15.86 ± 0.69). The participants were divided into 2 groups as proprioceptive training group (PTG) and control group, each consisting of 15 football players. The body height and body weight of the participants were measured. Hand-eye coordination, vertical jump, sprint, agility, and core endurance tests, which are defined as high-intensity actions, were applied to the participants. Dynamic balance performances of the participants were also determined. Passing, ball control and dribbling were measured by international tests to determine the participants' football-specific skills. No significant differences were found between the groups in the comparison of PTG and CG in terms of high-intensity actions (p>0.05). There was also no significant difference in the comparison of the dynamic balance performance of both dominant and non-dominant feet (p>0.05). Significant differences were determined in favor of the PTG group in the variables of football-specific skills such as pass shot rate and the number of ball control (p0.05). As a result, it can be stated that in addition to football training, proprioceptive training contributes positively to the development of skills such as passing and ball control, which we can show among the basic football skills.

“…This shows that foot sole and metatarsus measurements are an important component of physical fitness in balance ability. In a study that is examining the effect of proprioception training on acceleration, it was determined that increased proprioception sense had a positive effect on acceleration performance (Taşkın & Biçer, 2015). In another study, it has been determined that there is a positive correlation between wider and longer foot sole measurements and balance performance .…”

In this study, it was aimed to examine the acceleration and speed performances of sedentary women according to their different foot sole length. 60 women that recide in Gaziantep and live sedentary life has participated voluntarily. The subjects were divided into 4 groups in terms of foot sole length and metatarsus width. The average age of the subjects that are participated in the study is determined as 15.8±0.76 for the 1st group, 16.1±1.13 for the 2nd group, 15.9±1.12 for the 3rd group and 15.7±1.33 for the 4th group. Foot sole, metatarsus measurements, acceleration and speed performance values of the subjects were taken in accordance with the measurement technique. All data that is obtained in the study were compared with each other and analyzed in terms of groups while using the SPSS 20.0 software package. When we evaluate the results of the analysis; it can be seen that there are significant differences that is detected between the 1st, 3rd and 4th groups in terms of acceleration performance in terms of foot sole length and metatarsus width; however, no significant difference was found between the 2nd group and the other groups. Although small differences were detected between the groups when it comes to sprint performance, these differences were not statistically significant. As a result, it was observed that there were differences between the groups in terms of acceleration performance, but there was no significant difference in terms of speed performance.
