Abstract
Ankle proprioception is one of the most important components that contribute to balance control in sports, and balance is an important determinant of agility performance. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between ankle proprioception, balance and agility in young football players. 38 male football players were included in the study. Ankle proprioception of the participants was tested with the Active Joint Movement Discrimination Apparatus (AMEDA), their balance was tested with posturography and their agility was tested with Speedcourt. As a result of the study, a moderate negative correlation was found between ankle proprioception and medial-lateral sway amplitude during dominant side single-leg static balance; medial-lateral sway velocity during non-dominant side single-leg static balance; medial-lateral sway velocity and total sway amplitude during non-dominant side single-leg dynamic balance (p<0.05). However, there was no significant relationship was found between ankle proprioception and agility (p>0.05). A moderate positive correlation was found between the total duration of participants' change of direction test and ellipse area during dominant side single-leg static balance; anterior-posterior sway amplitude and ellipse area during non-dominant side single-leg static balance; anterior-posterior sway velocity, medial-lateral sway velocity and
total sway amplitude during dominant side single-leg dynamic balance (p<0.05). However, there was no significant relationship found between balance and reactive agility (p>0.05). This study showed that ankle proprioception is related to balance in young football players, but not to agility. It was found that balance performance can affect change of direction performance. These factors should be taken into consideration when designing training programs for young football players.
