- Abstract
Objectives - To evaluate and compare the efficacy of three different types of proprioceptive training in reducing the incidence of ankle sprains in male youth soccer players. Method - Muscle strength in tibiotarsal joint and proprioceptivity were evaluated and compared between three groups, with supervised proprioceptive training (GE), another unsupervised (GC1) and another with technical gesture training (GC2) over a nine week period, two to three times per week. Results - Both GE and GC1 showed significant increases (p<0.01) of proprioceptivity compared with GC2. Conclusion - The results suggest that after a short period of proprioceptive training, athletes improve their proprioceptivity but not necessarily tibiotarsal joint muscle strength. According to the study, supervision does not have an impact over training efficacy.
