Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of Joint Position Sense of the knee, motor response time and dribbling ability according to the proprioceptive training for 12 weeks in youth soccer players. The grouping was classified into a proprioceptive training group (PTG, n=10), a general training group (GTG, n=10) and a control group (CG, n=10). After the end of the experiment, statistical analysis was carried out as follows. There was a significant interaction effect on joint position sense of the knee (p.01). After post-hoc, PTG showed higher position sensory function than CG at 12 weeks. There was a significant interaction effect on reaction time (p.01). After post-hoc, PTG showed higher position sensory function than GTG and CG at 12 weeks. Dribbling ability did not show any significant interaction effect, but GTG and PTG showed significant dribble speed after 12 weeks compared to 0 week (p.01), (p.05). It is considered that the proprioceptive sensory strengthening training is a more effective exercise for improving joint position sense and reaction time and it is an important study result in the youth soccer player training program plan.
