Abstract
Objective
To describe the characteristics of static, dynamic and perceptive body balance in professional league youth soccer players.
Method
Descriptive, cross-sectional design.
Context:
Soccer players from the Caldas Soccer League. Manizales-Colombia.
Participants:
40 youth male soccer players with an age range between 17 and 20 years old belonging to the sub-17 and sub-20 categories at the professional level of a nationally recognized club, Manizales-Colombia.
Measurements:
Romberg test to assess static balance. Stability limits test that allows to evaluate the dynamic stability and the displacement of the centers of pressure. Cumberland Ankle Instability Test Questionnaire (CAIT), which is a self-reported outcome questionnaire that rates the level of functional ankle disability.
Results
There are no significant changes between the balance tests eyes open and eyes closed, therefore, there are no significant variations between body balance; greater center of gravity of the right foot compared to the left, which represents less stability of this hemibody; statistical difference between the feet according to the CAIT questionnaire.
Conclusions
For the analysis of balance in soccer players, it is necessary to observe motor control, the functional and physiological component and understand the factors associated with sports practice such as pain, decreased muscle strength, muscle fatigue, disability, among others, which are contemplated through the CAIT questionnaire, thus establishing the measurable balance and perceptive results of the soccer player.
