The aim of this study is to examine the effect of eight-week core and balance training on single-leg sway parameters and well-directed kick of male soccer players. 24 male players of an amateur soccer club aged 14 to 15 participated in the study. The participants were randomized into an experimental group (EG, n=12) performing core and balance trainings with soccer training and a control group (CG, n=12) performing only their routine soccer training programs for 8 weeks. Biodex Balance SD (Biodex Inc., Shirley, NY) device was used to measure single-leg sway parameters and Mor–Christian general aptitude soccer test was used to evaluate well-directed kick. EG athletes showed statistically better results in well-direct kick and dominant-leg-sway parameters than CG athletes (p < 0.05) while there was not seen any changes on non-dominant leg sway parameters (p > 0.05). When classical soccer practice supported by core and unstable surface exercises, possible developments in balance affects dominant and non-dominant legs of athletes to achieve in soccer the necessary skills more easily so it can be concluded that regular soccer training with core and balance exercises would be particularly effective in improving balance parameters and soccer skills.

Does SportsMetrics Soccer Training Improve LESS and Dynamic Balance in Soccer Players? A randomized controlled trialPurpose: Compared with other sports, soccer is an activity with a relatively high incidence of injury. To decrease the number of injuries, prevent early retirement, and provide a healthy and safe environment for players, preventive programs are highly recommended. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Sportsmetrics Soccer Training (SMST) on Landing Error Scoring Systems (LESS) and dynamic balance in soccer players. Methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial with pretest-posttest design and training (TG) and control (CG) groups. The statistical population comprised young soccer players over 18 years old recruited from Zulfaqarnasab Soccer Academy in Sanandaj City, Iran. The study participants were 29 soccer players with three years of experience in soccer clubs. The subjects were randomly assigned into TG (n=14, mean±SD age=18.40±0.5 years, mean±SD height=180.40±6.86 cm, mean±SD weight=70.47±9.62 kg) and CG (n=15, mean±SD age=18.64±0.08 years, mean±SD height=179.57±6.72 cm, mean±SD weight=64.64±6.61 kg). The TG group performed SMST three times a week for six weeks (each session lasted 35 to 45 minutes). The CG did not receive any intervention. The LESS (intraclass correlation [ICC]=0.82-0.99) and the Y-balance (ICC=0.91-0.99) were used for assessing landing errors and dynamic balance. The obtained data were analyzed using the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) (P≤0.05) in SPSS (version 24). Results: The TG showed a significant improvement in scores of LESS (F=48.23, P=0.0001), anterior reach (F=18.26, P=0.0001), posteromedial reach (F=21.15, P=0.0001), and posterolateral reach (F=17.94, P=0.0001) in posttest compared to their baseline results. Conclusion: The present study results showed that SMST could improve LESS score and Y-balance, so we recommend that soccer coaches use SMST to prevent injury.

The relationships between dynamic balance and sprint, flexibility, strength, jump in junior soccer players2020 •
Background and Study Aim. The present study aimed to investigate the relationships between sprint, flexibility, upper extremity strength and Star Excursion Balance Test performances in soccer players aged 12–14 years. Material and Methods. Eighteen junior soccer players (mean age, 9.78 ± 1.6 years; height, 139.5 ± 11.0 cm; weight, 34.3 ± 9.9 kg; BMI, 17.3±2.9; leg length; 63.7±5.9 cm) participated in this study voluntarily. They were training 2 or 3 times a week with the addition of one match per month and none of them had reported injuries or diseases related to sports. After measuring the anthropometrics of the subjects, they were familiarized with the test procedures. Measurements included handgrip strength (HD), 30 sc. sit-ups (SU), standing long jump (SLJ), Countermovement jump (CMJ) and 20m-Sprint tests as independent variables, and Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) as dependent variables. Then, statistical analysis was applied to the data transferred to SPSS 24.0 Packet pr...

The Effects of Proprioceptive Training on Balance, Strength, Agility and Dribbling in Adolescent Male Soccer PlayersThe aim of the study was to determine the effects of proprioceptive training (PT) on balance, strength, agility and dribbling in adolescent soccer players. In this research, we included an experimental (n = 48) and a control (n = 48) group (CG) with 14 years old players. The experimental group (EG) participated in an 8 week PT program, with four 30 minute sessions per week. The experimental program included 12 bosu ball exercises to improve balance, stability and strength which were grouped into two subprograms: the first not using the soccer ball, the second subprogram using the soccer ball. The subprograms were implemented alternately during 16 proprioceptive training sessions, on two types of firm and foam surfaces. Pre- and post-tests included the static balance [Balance Error Scoring System (BESS)], vertical, horizontal, and lateral jumping, and the completion of agility (“arrowhead”) and dribbling (“short dribbling”) tests. Regarding the total BESS score, the CG has demonstrat...
Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the differences in collegiate and recreationally trained soccer players in sprint, vertical jump, and balance performance. Methods: Twenty-one soccer players, twelve Division II collegiate and nine recreationally trained volunteered to participate. Session one acted as a familiarization day, where the participants were familiarized with testing day protocols. During testing day, participants performed a dynamic warm-up, followed by balance measurements, three countermovement vertical jumps, and pro-agility shuttle test. Results: There were no significant (p>0.05) differences between groups in the all balance variables. Collegiate soccer players had a significantly (p<0.05) greater peak velocity in vertical jump then recreationally trained soccer players. There were significant differences (p<0.05) between groups for maximum for split velocities, where collegiate soccer players were greater than recreationally trained soccer players. There were no significant (p>0.05) differences in groups in all other variables. Conclusion: These results indicate that collegiate, Division II, soccer players had greater vertical jumping and sprinting velocities when compared to recreationally trained soccer players. These results may have been impacted by the lack of resistance training background in either of the two groups. With the addition of more time on a collegiate resistance training program, it is very likely the Division II athletes will see a significant increase in all balance, sprint, and vertical jump performance measures compared to recreationally trained players who receive little to no specialized resistance training.

Several studies and research have been done to overcome this problem with new ideas and theories. This paper deals with the reduction of aero thermodynamic heating due to frictional force or drag forces on the surface of the body. In this paper, various combinations of Forward Facing Cavity are taken along with opposing Jet stream with different r/d ratio where d represents the cavity depth and r represents the radius of the cavity in a blunt body using different pressure and location of the jet stream. We have analyzed the model at Mach 6.2 i.e. supersonic condition at 11km of altitude with the help of the CFD software, Ansys and using its two-module Gambit for meshing and Fluent for solving. Later, the results are compiled and compared between a simple blunt body and with various combinations of the cavity and its depth. The best result is considered to be the one in which the most heat reduction is attained.
