Abstract
Introduction: The present study explores the influence of specific balance exercises on the development of speed in female soccer players. In soccer, these physical abilities are crucial for athletic performance, making this work aimed at optimizing their development through a systematic approach. A longitudinal experimental design was employed to evaluate the impact of a training program based on balance exercises designed to improve speed through postural control and dynamic stability.
Objective: To determine the effects of balance exercises on the development of speed in female soccer players.
Methods: The Illinois test and 50-meter sprint test were used to compare a numerical variable within the same group at two different moments, pre-test and post-test. Quantitative data were collected and analyzed using statistical methods such as the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the Student's t-test. These evaluation tools allowed for precise results in real game situations.
Results: The post-test data from the Illinois test, which evaluated 100% (15) of the athletes, showed that without equipment, 9 athletes (60%) received an "Excellent" rating, 4 athletes (26.7%) were categorized as "Good," and 2 athletes (13.3%) as "Average." With equipment, 13 athletes (86.7%) reached the "Excellent" category, 2 athletes (13.3%) the "Good" category, and 0 athletes (0%) the "Average" category.
The post-test data from the 50m Speed test, which evaluated 100% (15) of the athletes, showed that without equipment, 12 athletes (80%) received an "Excellent" rating, 3 athletes (20%) were categorized as "Good," and 0 athletes (0%) as "Average." With equipment, 11 athletes (73.3%) reached the "Excellent" category, 3 athletes (20%) the "Good" category, and 1 athlete (6.67%) the "Average" category. In both cases, the "Excellent" category was dominant, although the distribution varied slightly between the evaluations with and without equipment.
Conclusions: The results show a significant increase in speed after the intervention, confirming the effectiveness of the exercise program focused on balance.
Keywords: Exercises, balance, speed, women's soccer.
