EFFECT OF FIFA 11+EXERCISES ON STATIC POSTURAL BALANCE IN FOOTBALL PLAYERS

The effect of the FIFA 11+ exercises on the static postural balance in young footballers was determined. Twenty young players were included and evaluated using the Romberg test with open and closed eyes on a force platform. The players were randomly divided into a control group (n = 10), who continued their soccer practice sessions and an intervention group (n = 10), who continued their soccer practice sessions and to whom the FIFA11 + exercises were carried out, supervised, during 22 sessions. In the results of the study, no statistically significant changes were found in the Plantar Pressure Center (COP), the average p-value obtained in two axes was 0.7869 (p <0.05), evidenced by Mann's statistical tests. Withney, Wilcoxon and Kolmogorov Smirnov. The application of the 11+ sports injury prevention program in 22 sessions does not develop significant improvements in the static postural balance.
