Anthropometric Parameters

The main purpose of this study was to determine the covariation of anthropometric parameters and the center of pressure (CoP) of young soccer players. Sub-elite young male players between 16 and 17 years (N = 42) were instructed to perform single-leg balance tasks under different conditions: static and dynamic balance on firm and foam ground. Single-leg balance was measured with a Kistler force plate. The measures of postural control were the CoP displacement in anterior-posterior and medio-lateral directions. Further, the following anthropometric variables were assessed: body height, body weight, foot length, and foot width. Results indicated only two small-sized correlations between body height/weight and the CoP measures. The covariation between body height, body weight, and the CoP measures for the single-leg stance in young male sub-elite soccer players was less than 10%.

Training Modalities

Abstract Objective Improvements in balance performance through balance training programs in children have been reported in several studies. However, the influence of balance training modalities (e.g., training period, frequency, volume) on the training effectiveness have not yet been studied. To address this shortfall, the present study investigated the effects of balance training duration and volume (i.e., 240 min during 4 weeks versus 360 min during 6 weeks) on measures of static and dynamic balance performance in healthy children (N = 29) aged 10 years. Results Irrespective of balance training duration and volume, significant pre- to post-test improvements were found for variables of static (i.e., one-legged stance on foam ground, reduced number of floor contacts: p = .041, ηp2 = .15) and dynamic (i.e., Lower Quarter Y Balance test, increased anterior reach distance: p = .038, ηp2 = .15) balance performance but no group × test interactions were detected. These findings indicate that balance training is effective to improve static and dynamic balance performance in healthy children, but the effectiveness seems unaffected by the applied training duration and volume.

Mathematical models of human posture on a rigid surface predict two types of balance instabilities — a static tipping instability and a dynamic instability leading to large oscillations. Although a common technique to improve balance performance is placing patients on balance boards, little research has modeled bipedal posture on rotational boards to better understand the mechanisms underlying improvement. In this study we present a mathematical model of human stance on a single-degree-of-freedom balance board with controllable torsional stiffness and delayed feedback. Through a bifurcation analysis we find that the standard manipulation of decreasing board stiffness can lead to very different instabilities depending on an individual’s neuromuscular time-delay. This dependency limits the ability to use traditional boards for training and identification of balance deficits. We show that implementing a controllable time-delay may be more beneficial and allow for the customization of treatment plans for individual with very different characteristics.
