Running speeds of and
the distances covered by footballers during matches or small-sided games have
been well determined. However,
there is no study associating the properties of these parameters with the
postural control properties in small-sided games (SSG). The aim of the present
study was to determine the relationships between parameters designating
postural control levels and running speeds in SSG. Sixteen youth players (age 17.2 ± 1.02, height
176.25 ± 0.072 cm, body mass 67.67 ± 13.27 kg) voluntarily participated in all the tests. Postural control was evaluated
using one and both leg stance positions by measuring postural sway specify
according to Center
of Pressure (CoP) at anterior – posterior (ap) and medial – lateral directions. Movement
data were collected using a 10-Hz global positioning system from games during
the 1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3 SSG, including measures of speed and the distance covered
at those speeds. The main findings of our study showed a significant
relationship between the running speeds of 0-6 km · h^-1, 6-10
km · h^-1 and 10-16 km · h^-1 which can be defined as the velocities
used in acceleration and direction changes and the postural parameters of CoP_dap,
CoP_dvel,CoP_ndvel and CoP_ndvar (r-values ranging from 0.503 to 0.639) levels in 2vs2 and 3vs3 games.In conclusion, when improvement of postural
control, which is a variable that can lead to an increase in athletes’
competing performances, is desired, combining practices that are designed to
work out postural control parameters separately with football specific
exercises (combined training) in a single training session would make
significant contributions to competing performances of athletes.
