MANCERA-SOTO, Erica et al. Effect of physical training based on the developmental sequence of postural balance in football players: randomized controlled trial. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2013, vol.61, n.4, pp.339-347. ISSN 0120-0011.

Background. Postural balance is required to maintain stability during the course of the game. Objective. The aim of this study determine the effect of physical training based on the developmental sequence of postural balance in players of the selection of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogotá. Materials and methods. A randomized controlled trial of 19 young adult males of the football team at the Universidad National of Colombia. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups, intervention group (n=11) which fitness program based on the sequence of development and a control group (n=8). Results. Homogeneity between the two groups, the dynamic balance test SEBT p-values obtained <0.5 which confirms an improvement in all evaluated directions both in the right leg as in the left leg. In the intervention group, intra group relationship shows a 3:1 correlation which represents a measure of protection as per 3 subjects improved in the intervention group improved 1 in the control group. Discussion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a physical training program of 6-week, supervised, progressive, based on the sequence of development, dynamic and static balance in male soccer players. The results have shown improvements in excursion distances, which can be associated with an increased dynamic postural control. Conclusions. The use of a fitness program based on the sequence of development generates significant improvements in static and dynamic balance.
